I've got some wheels with Belgium Plus rims which I run (sometimes) on one of my bikes with 23s. Never had any issues. In fact, they work very well.

It depends on the bead to bead distance for the tyre. Some 23mm tyres are not really 23mm are they. I personally like tyres that bulge a bit. That protects the rim and its more like the tyre shape the manufacturer intended. Tyres that are over stretched do feel a bit more skittish. A bit of sidewall flex is desirable.
The first time i used a 25m gp5000 tyre i fitted them to 20mm internal width ailerons and the centre of the thread wore thinner than the shoulders when i pulled it off after holed.
I am quite picky with tyres.

This is good to hear. Just put a set of 25c GP5000’s onto some Belgium Plus rims as Schwalbe One 28’s didn’t like the fork clearance. Schwalbe Pro One 28’s work fine on my other wheels & id wrongly assumed that wider rim would increase width & reduce the height of a tyre

And the Hed is 21mm internal, I take it that is therefore the highest possible internal width for road tyres? (25 or 28c for example)
