The "stock" wheel on today's Expedition is listed as a "559", which can have a rim width of 1" to 2.3", according to Sheldon, but "one inch" doesn't always mean 1". I think 1" is pretty common, but that would only be a guess. And, of course, you may not have a "stock" rim in the first place. FWIW, mine has an outer rim width of 23.38mm, about 0.88".

I can remove my tire and measure but I thought someone would have this info. I was surprised that there was none of this info in the manuals about this. CTE 959 - White Steed

Personally, I would get a 32 spoke cross country model so it has some lateral rigidity (it will be about 24mm wide on the outside). A DH model is going to be unnecessarily heavy and almost certain to have a rim that would be fine for the stock tires, but not a 28mm Durano should you decide to get skinnier tires.

A DT/Swiss F630 36h or a Alex Rims Supra BH 36h will work with most tires and you can beat them as much as you wish.
