Clincher tire profile height difference on 14C vs 19C rims

Assume one mounts the same 35mm wide tire on a 14-622 vs 19-622 rim. It is often discussed that the actual tire *width* when mounted on a wider rim grows by measurable millimetres. Has anyone tried comparing the profile height difference? Is it negligible or reaching beyond 2mm?

I am asking because of mudguard clearance issue in a fork which seems to attract sticky mud right around the cantis area and above, while there’s no problem with the rear wheel which seems to have perhaps only 2mm extra vertical clearance. I tried to move the mudguard as high as possible even filing off some bracket material to get where it is now but that’s very much where it touches the fork already.
