How much taller is a 28C tire vs a 25C?

Hey all,

I'm thinking of switching to 28C tires on my commuting bike for extra comfort over my 25C tires. I have enough clearance in the frame width-wise, but the height of the tire might be a problem.

I only have about 4-5mm of height clearance to my brake calipers right now with the 25C Continental Gatorskin. I am thinking of switching to the 28C Michelin Pro4 Endurance V2. On top of that, Michelin tires tend to run a bit wider than the average tire.

Would the extra height of the 28C be a problem you think?

Thanks!
