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.
This is the way I feel too. Unfortunately, in the last 15 years, we have trended from rims that were ridiculously narrow to rims that are ridiculously wide. Because here in America, if a little is good, more is better and too much is just enough.
