Do not trust manufacturers.

I have a set of wheels, inside width is 19mm, the manufacturer says any tire width of 28 to 62 mm. I have another set of rims with an inner width of 18.6, manufacturer says 25 to 38 mm. And another set of wheels at 19 mm inner width is rated by the manufacturer at 28 to 47 mm. All three of these rim widths are nearly identical and therefore have nearly identical tire ranges. But the manufacturers are all over the board for specifications.

I say again - do not trust manufacturers.
