What size tire fits on a 700c rim?
On a ‘700c’ wheel, you can have a range of different widths. 23mm wide tires have been the standard for most road cycling over the past couple decades. You might see a 700x20c, or a 700x25c. On a cyclocross bike or 29-inch mountain bike, you could see tires as wide as 700x35c or 700x58c.
How do I know my rim width?

Can you put any width tires on same rim bike?

How do you measure inner rim width?

Does rim width affect tire width?
The width of the wheel/rim will affect the tire’s width. A tire fitted on a narrow rim would be “smaller” than a tire mounted on a broad rim of the same size. The industry standard is that for every 1/2″ increase in rim width, the tire’s section width will increase by roughly 2/10″.
