As the clearance issue is at the seat tube the 'height' of the tyre is the factor not the width, so would actually some wider rims (19mm internal) stretch the tyre profile wider but shorter if that makes sense?
.....now there's a thought! I'll check tomorrow with the width of the Scirocco's that are on it
