No but 28mm tyres on ~30mm mm rims ... which would be a liability off road.

We’re not talking about 40mm tyres on 40mm rims.
But why not.

The thing is, on the road wider seems better because you get better aeros and a grip due to the nice round profile. Surely on the grav your priorities change and you actually want something a little narrower (proportionally) for some sidewall protection and to allow a bit of sidewall flex to get the benefit of the larger tyre... Naturally it’s all a trade off though and you want the opposite for actually getting to the grav.
Edit: sorry @Lolo, I shouldn’t have taken it to a new page!
