Mine are on what I think are 24mm internal width rims, work a charm. I have some 2.5 non-WT minion DHFs, a 2.4 WT DHR2 and a 2.5 WT shorty, honestly if I didn’t know I wouldn’t know there was any special juju involved.I mean, nobody ever worried about putting a 2.5 on a 721.
It does make a real difference if a tyre’s pinched up but I feel like once you get past a certain point it’s not that important. The difference from narrow to wide is way more than wide to wider. (as long as it’s a decent shaped tyre, anyway- some like hans dampfs really benefit from a wide rim to give them a more suitable shape)
