Lots in reality.
If it's supposed to run a 113 & you fit a 118, you'll struggle getting the chain to drop onto the inner ring if you're running a triple,rub on the middle more the normal & struggle shifting to the outer.

What about running single ring on the front then, it has crossed my mind anyway?

I did this (113 to 118) on a square taper and there was enough adjustment in the front mech to make no difference at all.

Suppose it depends what variation you have to play with.
