How wide can my wheels be on a 2015 Cannondale Supersix

Decaffeinated

Apparently 2015 was the final year that the Supersix Evo had such narrow chainstays. Many, many people have reported rubbing problems, usually with the tires. I've been fortunate enough to avoid these which my Shimano C24 wheels (19 mm rim width) and 25 mm tires. But I would like to buy some more aero wheels and I'm wondering how wide of wheels can I buy before I have to worry about this? I would appreciate anyone's experiences out there.

I'd really like to buy some Hed Jet 6 wheels but those have a brake track that's 25 mm wide. Is that too wide?

Best I can say.......post on a local message board for a club or group ride asking if someone would let you do a test fit.

Maybe a LBS could do a test fit if you plan to buy wheels or tires from them.

I've heard too many message board ideas or rumors that don't work out when it comes to wheel and tire fitment.

I don't know about that bike/wheel combo, but if you do have trouble with wider wheels the could look at the ffwd f6r or f4r depending on how deep you want to go - they are 22.4 on the outside so in the middle ground. Alternatively there last years 40mm Mavic Cosmic Elites or the 60mm Dura Ace wheels that are getting discounted now too which still have narrow rims.
