It's much tighter than I like to build rear ends. I typically shoot for something around 2.750".
Admiral Ackbar:
but does it make a difference besides having more clearance for dumb big tires?

I know solid had made some barcodes a few years back, do you think you could make them wider due to the wishboners and things?

Nope, but building frames that can't accept "modern" sizes is risky in my opinion.
I can't say anything for certain (we could be measuring differently,) but from what I've read about the latest production sample of the Barcode frames, I'd pay attention to that rear end clearance and your tire choice.
I'm not trying to start a fight here, but I thought it would be pertinent to put my two cents in.
