I usually check these two spots:

Schwalbe: https://www.schwalbetires.com/tech_info/tire_dimensions << Optimal Tire Wide: 42 ~ 62mm on a 25mm rim

It seems like when I've checked in the past the tire manufacturers would give you a wide range - use lots of tires on the rim you got!
And the rim manufacturer would give a tighter tire range - you need to buy more rims for all those tire sizes you want to try!
- but this example is dang close.....
