32c Tyres on 13mm Rims?

Does anyone run 32c tyres on rims with a 13mm internal width?

I know it's pushing the limits but I already use 28mm tyres and they're fine - no wobbles at all. Sheldon says even 28c shouldn't work but he's conservative:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way you'll know you've pushed your luck is when all the rubber rolls off your rim in a lean on a corner? I'm interested to know how much luck you've left yourself there...

I use 28 and bigger touring tyres on road rims, never had any leaning problems.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
