I'm riding 20 mm wide tubular rims with 25 mm tires on them. I think there is just enough room for one size up on each. Hitting the underside of the fork crown appear to be the most likely problem. Looks like about 7 mm clearance right now. Of course my tires aren't pumped up high. Only 75 psi in front.
