Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Ignoring the frame for a moment, a 32mm wide rim seems very wide for a 32mm tire.

Ideally, you want the tire to have an omega shaped profile that flares out from the rim. I shoot for roughly 5/3rds the rim's inner width, though there's plenty of latitude, so those rims would be best suited for tires in the 40-55mm range.

So, while it might fit, I suggest you look for a wheel with narrower rims, closer to 19mm inner width.

BTW there's usually some latitude in tire width spec for any frame, since it includes an allowance for untrue wheels. Meaning you can go wider IF you're willing to risk having to walk should the wheel break a spoke and go untrue.
