I've had the same setup (7-15) for a long time, in excess of 50K miles. Many track days included in those miles. No issues whatsoever. From my experience, I'd say your mechanic is being too cautious. And I don't remember reading anything at all, here or anywhere else, about someone having problems due to these width spacers. Of course, as always...ymmv!

Regarding the handling...I haven't a clue if spacers this small would do anything at all (or at least perceptible) for handling. The small increase in width should, I guess, theoretically, improve handling a bit. But I couldn't perceive any difference after I first put them on.
