Yes, a 25 fits.

Even Campy's version of wide is still pretty narrow compared to what's out there. The goldilocks rim width for a 25c tire is 19-20mm ID and 24-25mm OD. If you're the type who just fills to near max pressure and doesn't worry about tire performance nuance in relation to rim widths then splitting hairs over a couple mm doesn't matter.

Thanks for this info, I'm buying used wheels so I have option to get for a good price used Campagnolo ZONDA wheels. Is 200€ a good price for almost new 2015 model wheels with approx 500km (with tyres Continental GP4000S & Force Attack, don't know if it's 23 or 25mm)?

Well I'm riding on 25mm, can I fit those on Campagnolo ZONDA (no C17 model!!) ?

You can. Which tyres? I find Continentals come up at about the correct size and Michelins come up bigger. I'd probably think about the 17s though if you're on 25s.

If I decided to buy those wheels, I will probably switch to my new tyres conti gp4000s ii.


PS: are those wheels comparable or better with Shimano RS81 C24 ?

Well, both have really nice hubs but both also rely on 'sometimes-not-supported', proprietary parts, spokes/rims. Sooo, in a few years if you kill a rim or break a spoke, you may not be able to find a replacement. BUT, Campagnolo wheels(also Fulcrum-same company), are really excellent. I'd give a nod to them, particularly for the $.
