Ambrosio hubs are fine.
The rims (460g claimed) are quite narrow (etrto 622x13), so your tyre section will be taller rather than wider. Only an issue if you've got ridiculously tight clearance under your fork crown, or you're an early adopter of the recent shift towards wider rims that give clinchers a flatter profile and a ride quality closer to tubulars (apparently).
