Heck no. My commuter takes 25 and less. On my racer, I've found that there is inadequate clearance even for some 25s.
But I've put many thousands of miles on a touring bike with 32's. You can maintain a decent clip with 32s, but you still won't be as fast.

A bike with 40's on is going to handle very differently than one with 23's.
