Spacers will make the ride slightly softer.

Changing wheel offset alters the wheel to spring/damper displacement ratios. With spacers, a larger wheel displacement translates to a smaller spring and damper displacement which reduces the effective spring and damper rates.

Albeit, that being said, it does so in a relatively small manner and will not be noticeable to most drivers. IMO, the biggest negative impact of altering wheel offset is on the front axle due to the effect it has on scrub radius and required Ackerman angle when the wheels are steered, which affect steering feel and feedback and tire grip.

EDIT: just saw Racer20 beat me to it.
