I am using 700x35 tires on Super Champion Gentleman rims, which are also about 20mm wide. No problem at all, great for commuting. I tried some Ritchey 700x42 knobbies on Mavic Open Sport rims, and that was too much-- they were very wobbly from side to side. I switched them for some 40mm smooth tread tires and those have worked very well.
