I've run several larger into steels.. the tires track same. No problem.

No, you bend the dropouts parallel again as a separate operation to spreading the frame, and you don't cold-set randomly, you follow the instructions on Sheldon's page to measure how much you've spread the frame. Tyre tracking is not the issue with non-parallel dropouts anyway, it's the fact that the axle gets stressed in bending when you do up the axle nuts.
