So i won't be able to fit 28 mm tires on elitewheels? My bike supports max width of 28 mm but i think i could squeeze 30 or 32 in. But i preffer 28. As far as i know there is a table on this page
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006902683405.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.7437nRkmnRkms3&mp=1
that says that recommended tire width for 50 mm deep wheel is from 25 to 43c which as far as i know is from 25mm wide tire to 43mm wide right?

If you look up the 105% rule or tire to rim transition, essentially you will want the external width of the rim to be about the same as the measured width of the tire for an aero wheelset. 28c is probably fine but wont be optimal because that 28c tire will measure like 29mm on the wheel. If you go with a much larger tire than external width you basically gain nothing from the deep aero wheel and are better off going with light climbing wheels.
