Fat tyres on thin rims

[MontyVeda]

anybody had any issues putting a fat tyre on a thin rim?

ie... a 2.35 tyre on a rim measuring 17.5mm internal.

presume mtb style wheel ? most tyres will have markings on them sating what size rims they are suitable for

should be ok but best way is to try it first .

Sheldon has a few things to say about rim/tyre width compatibility.
