As above.

Have a 100m spaced front wheel with a 48mm rim.

Thinking about upping tyre girth to a Larry. but wondering if the tyre will be okay on a narrower than normal (for the tyre) rim.

Any help would be much appreciated ๐Ÿ™‚

Tyre will fit the rim fine, you just won't get the full fat effect ... it will still be a very wide tyre though ๐Ÿ˜‰

Do you mean that I won't get away with running very low pressures?

No, you'll still be able to run low pressures. I mean that a 48mm rim won't 'pull' the tyre out as much as it would if fitted to a wider rim.
