I looked through my old pictures and the space savings are minimal. It is along the lines of 1/2" farther into the fender, if that! So the front covers can be slightly more flush than with the 14x5.5s. I'd rather have a small redesign of my skirts and less Crr!
It may also be the tires that is making the rims have little effect. With the space saver wheel
& tire, the inset of the combo was much greater compared to the MX-3/185 combo and the spare/185 combo.
Here is pictures of the different wheels with the same tires:
