^ Sheldon is against wide tyres on narrow rims because the handling gets funny at low and medium pressures. If you run higher pressures it's ok.
I researched you same question a while ago and found many anecdotes saying "you'll be fine". E.g. big (35mm+) cyclocross tyres on 20mm Ksyrium Elites with no issues.
