Some French 650b bikes especially tandems had lugged BBs with widely angled ports so that curved chainstays could be used to bring a big tyre and mudguard in tight and allow short chainstays with no dimples. I've seen a pic somewhere (Bicycle Quarterly probably) which shows a rear triangle without the wheel it's pretty cool.
Another notable example is the recent Rene Herse that have a custom bottom bracket to be able to accept larger tyres and mudguard, scroll down a bit to see it;

Mudguard and tyres clearance are ample with a sight dimple, very important if the wheel gone out of true during a long Audax;
