I'd say 25mm. And I'd recommend 25mm wide gorilla tape from B&Q. Amazing stuff, sticks so much easier than Stans and far cheaper - £2.97 for enough to do about 5 rims.

I did mine with 25mm Stan's. Was a bugger to use and I wish I'd have got the Gorilla Tape.

Just got tubeless valves, didn't use a rim strip.

I did mine with 25mm gorilla tape. Easy to apply just take your time and make sure there are no bubbles and the tape is centered. I used Stans valves though, because from experience they've been faultless.

Up to you really, but I only needed one layer of the gorilla tape overlapped by about 3" across the valve hole.
