My current wheels have Hydra rims that are 24mm external and 20mm internal. I run 43mm GK SS tires and before that ran 42mm WTB Resolute tires.
As for the profile...its something I have never thought of while riding. I weigh 210, run the tires at 40psi front and 45psi rear, and have honestly never thought about the wheel/tire interface while cornering.
I havent thought about it because I havent needed to.
I think that is the best way to describe how the profile is when cornering...Ive never thought about it. Maybe I corner too slow?...or maybe I dont overthink such details?
If this were something I had to think about when riding, then the profile probably isnt ideal because I will have felt it rolling from under me or something. When riding, I cant see the profile from above and when not on the bike, the unloaded profile is meaningless.
There appears to be an abundance of caution in this thread. A 19mm internal rim can handle a 43mm tire just fine.
