Short BBs hold the crank arm slightly inside the BB shell of the frame itself (hard to explain, the outer edge of the BB is flush to the frame and then has a concave appearance sort of thing), there will be no wear/touching of the centre of the crank to the BB unless you're using some wacky/chunky MTB/BMX crank, etc.
