i currently run that size tire on LWB rims, with no problems at all
just remember you need to inner tubes, so the tires need to be kinda smooth on the inside
a few tire places forget this and leave labels and things on the inside of the tire

Series Rims aren't air tight, so tubes with everything.

If you are running rims that need tubes be carefull of tubless tyres, these can overheat the tube resulting in a bit of a let down.
