A couple of mm, probably

It depends on the geometry of the rear triangle, the tubes and the crimping tool. I feel like I have often gained maybe 5mm either side. But it is hard to judge what is realistic to achieve.
It is probably better to just ride the tyres the bike was designed around and yes the paint is likely to suffer from crimping.

How much extra clearance does crimping chain stays give? Will it damage a powdercoat? Thanks
