you can usually exceed the recommended level by a good bit, but the shape of the tire goes off. Instead of being round, it gets a ridge that can make cornering difficult.
I've run 38's, just be careful when you lean in heavily.

^word.
there is a huge trend with XC mountain biking to have skinny rims under MTB tires (2.1, 2.3's) it works fine as long as the bead and sidewall are strong enough.
