27" AKA 630 mm rims will take 28" AKA 700C tubulars.
You may need glue (I used double-sided sticky tape on the inside of the brake track) to prevent them from sliding on the rim and tearing the valve out.
They're not a good option on rims with a big internal depth, as much of the tire will disappear between the brake tracks, which will make you very prone to pinch/snakebite flats.
