I recently picked up two old Fuji's that I am working on. One of them is black with the seat post decal in red. Thinking maybe some red tape and tires of some sort.

The rims on this one are 27 x 1 1/8. I am not seeing a bunch of tires out there in that size although I just started looking. The other Fuji came with 27 x 1 1/4" rims of which I have already replaced the tires with new.

Being an 1/8" difference, would it be asking for trouble to actually mount 27 x 1 1/4" tires on the 1 1/8" rims?

What's your opinion?
