"Old Weinmanns" can be as narrow as 12.7mm inside, or as wide as 18mm I believe.

On Mod58 rims with a modest 16mm inside width, I found the former Pasela 1-1/4" tire to have a full 32mm width measured across the sidewalls.

And I've got 1" Paselas mounted on wide-style Araya rims that plump out to a full 26mm wide.
