Just as a data point, I chose VO PBP rims for my 1973 Paramount build. I found a pair of NOS Shimano Dura-ace center pulls from the same era and these have more than enough reach. There is a selection of 27" tires available but compared to the variety of 700c - not even close. Thus my decision to convert.
