Presuming the inflated cross section of the tyre remains constant, wider rims should improve the situation. Shouldn't they? #selfdoubt

Different pads can help, Swissstop have a new wide rims pads that allow more clearance (but less material).
What brakes is it? Modern Shimano brakes (says 5800) can give more clearance as it's better designed for wider rims.

I have 25c GP4000s on Campagnolo Eurus (20mm external width, 17mm internal), they just clear the inside of my brakes, at the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock points, when looking at the brake front on. Will switching to 22mm wide (17.8mm internal) Ryde Pulse Sprint rims mean they have more or less clearance?
