I went the opposite as your plans. I went with Schwalbe One 20 x 1.1” tires. I’ll ride the Litepro aero wheels on the bike trails and known city streets. I’ll swap to the stock wheels and 1.5” tires when taking the bike on trips. I don’t ride on dirt trails but if I did I would get different tires on the stock wheels.

New Litepro Aero S42 406 wheels with 13.2mm/19mm rim width 40mm profile wheels and Schwalbe One 406 20” x 1.1” tires that measure 26mm wide on these rims.

Stock wheel with 1.5” tire vs. 1.1” tire.

The new tires are lower profile and narrower than the stock. The brake pads didn’t need adjusting. The new rims are narrower so I adjusted the brake lever barrel adjuster to remove some slack.
