I'm running stock 16 wheels... so not the widest tire. I've 15mm fronts and 20mm rears for ~4 years... and no noise from either axle. I'd been looking to bring the rear out a few more mm, even posting earlier about a trade/swap.

However, I'm going to take my neighbor's advice (Gilles) about going too wide... and leave well enough alone. I've seen some videos of wheel bearing replacement... and I'm not going there.
