I’ve got some LB56 in order and am going to run Hutchinson 5 fusion performance tubeless ready in 25mm. I’ll update with width/psi when I get everything
Great, That's the tire i'm interested if i ever go tubeless route again. Keep update.

Thanks Hexsense . That’s precisely what I was after. I was actually looking for widths of all tyre sizes on that rim and should have made that clear. Mea culpa.
However, what I wanted to determine was whether a 28mm was going to be wider than the rim. It seems it’s still going to be slightly wider, but do you feel it’s going to affect the crosswind stability and aero benefits?
That's actually the width first mount. It'll still expand by probably another mm through the rest of its life.
My preference is 25c front and 28c rear on normal road. Then 28c front also if i plan to ride roubaix or something nasty.
Unless you are competing TT, just screw 105% guide line for rear tire, and you left with only front tire to adapt to the condition IMO. Placebo or not, i think rotor choice effect cross wind more than tire choice. With Dura-ace/ Ultegra rotor especially bad with crosswind coming from left side. Sram Centerline X doesn't have such effect of fan blade rotating against the wind.
Another note, I have a chance to ride other people's narrower U shape wheel this week. Although it's a short around the park testing, it remind me of some wheel behave differ from other wheelset. My friend's wheel got handlebar rotating force with gust. My LB 56mm get push straight up side way but no handle bar rotating force. I still go straight, bike just tilt/lean underneath from pushing force. This is from almost 20 km/h steady cross wind with stronger gust.
