We did one with an extra wide heel.. I was fine with it, the original owner couldn't get used to it. It felt a little different, not bad but different.

I did it on one of my FrankenFender parts gtrs.
Not a full string width, maybe an extra 1/8 inch.
Works good and you can hardly feel the extra space. Just keeps me from falling off like on some of my others.
