Only a small amount, I know, but if you were comparing rims two inches different in width, it adds up.

Yeah I wasn't using it for inside clearances just using offset and tyre size too get an idea of how far my 285s would come out, which I found to be pretty accurate for.
Unfortunately tyres are also not exactly what they claim to be in size as well and you get differencea of up to 1/2 an inch between different manufacturers tyres of the same nominal size so you can't tell exactly until you actually mount that particular tyre and measure it
