I used lube on the pawls, and, yes, after riding some miles, the wheel no longer rotates the crank arms. It's working like before. :)

The problem is that I thought I had an "MTB only rim" (since it's from a mountain bike), but what matters is where I ride. So, in conclusion, I can use 30 to 50mm tires, as I've been riding on road...

Indeed, the rattle can be heard when the wheel is moved by hand, like a steering wheel, and it becomes ever more audible as the wheel slows down.
