Do you really mean 1mm between tyre and guard? That's considered rather dangerous, I believe. Easy for small stones/gravel etc to get picked up, get caught between tyre and guard, then jam the wheel. There are several accounts around of nasty accidents and even fatalities caused by this, I don't if any are true though.

Not had any problems yet, i doubt anything significant could fit in the gap to cause a problem, more likely i'd say with a larger clearance that would allow a stone/gravel to fit in. I've never heard any accounts of this being a problem.
