My theory is that a 28 would fit more like a low profile car tire and possibly ride a few mm lower.

The older standard Mavic Open Pro type aluminum clincher rims are like 14mm internal width which leads to the “lightbulb” tire profile with certain wider clincher tires.

It appears from the photos that you have adequate side clearance for a bit more tire width, it is the height under the brake caliper that is the limiting factor.
They're FiRs. I may try to experiment with some other rims. Thanks!
