I'm thinking about changing wheels on my road bike. I have been using the Shimano R501 wheels that came with the bike. These have been on through winter and now the nicer weather is coming I fancy I change. Wheels are fitted with Vredstein Senso All Weather tyres (25mm) so now there is not a lot of clearance left around inside of chain stays.
I just wanted to check if I definitely need to stay away from current wider rims that are in fashion, just incase they balloon the tyre up too much that it rubs the frame?
Shouldn't be a problem wouldn't go any wider than a 25mm tyre but wider rim shouldn't effect the tyre that much that it will hit the frame, it is designed to be run with 23mm tyres though
This might be worth a look:

Dave is that you? I bought the bike from you. 😉
