There was some chat in the wheelbuilding thread about the effect of tubeless on wheel tensions.
IIRC the upshot was that tensions do drop but not enough to be concerned about, but some builders do compensate.
I did Duckle the subject and was surprised to learn that it also happens with a tube, although to a lesser extent.
I don't remember the difference in fit being discussed: my guess is that it would, but not by enough to cause a problem.
