If you spread the stays on a steel frame, you have to re-align the dropouts and the der hanger. If any bike falls over on the rignt side you often need to re-align the der hanger .... if you crash on the right side, etc, etc.

Park Tool and others have been making tools to do just exactly that for at least 55 years.
What's the problem?
