+1 for almost any tire on any rim, and I can beat Will by 4 mm: 72 mm actual WTB Rangers tubeless on 21 mm IW OEM Alex rims on that Monocog — non-tubeless but even at 12 psi no problems. (Perhaps no problems *because* 12 psi.)
Back in the day Sun and other major mfrs made 13 mm IW 26” “semi-aero” rims for 50 mm knobby tires; that was the style in those days (channeling Abe Simpson). Now, 72 mm on 21 mm is hardly the best combination, but it worked. Patrick Moore with: 27 mm Elk Passes on 13 mm IW rims; 41 mm Naches Passes on ~15 mm IW rims; 49 mm Oracle Ridges and 50 mm Soma Supple Vitesse SLs on 27 mm IW rims And shortly, God willing, 60 mm Big Ones on 21 mm IW rims. All in ABQ, NM.
