I am running 47mm tyres on i25 rims (which is the same ratio of 56mm - i29) and i could go wider tbh. I would think the wider the better.

I read somewhere (no citation) that there’s a limit to the benefit of tire width in relation to the rider’s weight. I’m under 70kg and find that 32mm is kind of the sweet spot for me - this is pretty much exclusively on road in my case.

Oh i meant wider in terms of the rim internal width for the 47mm tyre i am running

I would be interested in the source of that
