I don't know if that would make any difference but I'm not the expert. IMO I don't think there's much advantage in it but it's your bike. Where are you talking about adding the flat washer to gain clearance for the tire?

The washer goes next to the brake hub under the bar that keeps the hub from rotating.The clearance is very close even with factory tire.
