Elite Wheels ENT : confusing information from alibaba and elite website

[curvenut]

Hi,

  I  want to buy the Elite wheels  ENT to put a 30 or 32    tire .
Bbut I found confusing information  from the alibaba vendor and information from Elite webite.

From Alibaba vendor website, it says up to 28c  tire

But from Elite wheels website , it says up o 36c tire

I am confused. !?!

Does the inner width of the wheels dictate the tire size

thanks

There is a relationship between inside rim width and maximum tire size. Schwalbe has a chart which has the ERTRO official recommendations plus Schwalbe's own suggestions: https://www.schwalbe.com/en/reifenmasse

But according to the chart, you can use up to a 34mm wide tire on a rim as narrow as 15mm internal width.

The Elite Wheels recommendation for 28mm max may be more for aerodynamic reasons, since the widest rim on that page is 29mm external. Wider tires would definitely work, but wouldn't be as streamlined.
