I've run both Schwalbe G-One 650b x 30 and Switchback Hill 650b x 48 tyres on DT Swiss XM401 27.5 rims, which have a 22.5mm internal width and according to DT Swiss are suitable for tyres up to 2.5" wide. To me, the handling has seemed fine with both sizes of tyre. I use the narrower tyres for Auxax events on sealed roads the the wider for rides combining both sealed and unsealed roads.
