I Would moving the mouths of a wormhole affect the internal distance?

[Earthworm69]

TL;DR Summary

If you move one mouth of a wormhole away relative to the other mouth, what happens to the space inside of it?

Lets say I formed a traversible wormhole with one mouth on each end of my garage. If I picked up one of the ends and drove it to the park, would the distance inside the wormhole increase or otherwise be effected as well?

In the traversable wormhole solution described in the Wikipedia article you reference, the one published by Kip Thorne and others, no, the distance through the wormhole would not change.

Are there any solutions where the inside distance can change if the mouths are moved?

Not that I'm aware of, but I am not up to date on all of the wormhole literature.
