Gordon says..."It makes sense that a wider wheel, or one with more offset, would create more leverage on the torsion bar. The result is a softer sprung car...."

Yes..for the front. The TB runs longitudinally with the car. Wider wheels or track will impart more leverage and create a softer "effective" wheel rate.

However...doesn't compute for the rear , where the TB runs transverse across the car.
