Beautiful classic touring bike.

Do you know the inside width of those rims? I am always interested in how conservative Sheldon Brown's tire/rim sizing chart is and how far people can safely push its boundaries. I want to go with some wider tires on the Capo Modell Campagnolo, which has lots of stay and fork crown clearance.
