There was this article claiming the optimal width for rolling resistance is 25mm. However that is countered for inferior areodynamics and heavier weight. Also current wide rims are designed to be used with 23mm tires to make a oval profile into the wind. A sharp teardrop profile seen in most tires + wheels is less efficient.
