I know the 23mm Corsa is basically a 25, but it feels super freaky. Am I the only one considering a fat 23 for this rim?

Also at that point, it feels like I'd basically be riding on sidewall in the corners... is that an issue? I’d probably run these as low as 35-40 psi for downhill runs.
I'm going with 30mm Schwalbe G-One speed tires because I want to try a fat(low pressure) road/gravel tire.

If this tire proves to be too wide, I'll try some 28mm Pro-One tubeless, or GP5000 tubeless next.
