why would wheel width make a difference?

isn't it the end to end axle dimension that's the limiting factor with the wheels. The rims seem to be a skinny plane in my box. And are there not multiple positions you could use for the rear triangle so the immovable parts are not on top of one another? Just curious.

Cranks, rear der, fork, stem, h'bars, cages and seat/post all get removed.

I travelled many times in the past with a steel bike that packed in the current case with no issue.
