The d-max steering rack spacers are supposed to correct this (as well as give you an extra 7-8 degrees) and give you equal steering left and right.
That is correct.

I was getting a lot more angle when I turned my steering wheel to the right (passenger side) on my car, to the point where my wheel's inner lip hit the tie rod before hitting the steering stopper, which is all the way in just like the driver's side.

Again, while it might matter to others, at this point, I'm over it, but there is definitely more angle to be found in my setup, as long as I get either longer tie rods or one of those Dmax spacer things.
