You will not be squeezing between cars so tightly that 6cm would matter. And if you do, I suggest you rethink you riding habbits before you get hurt.
I was in agreement when I first read your comment about rack width, but then this morning I was following a guy on his disc-braked bike with a Topeak Super Tourist DX rack, and his not very fat panniers protruded a few inches beyond the width of the handlebars. That would make a difference when filtering through stationary/slow-moving London traffic.
