If you've got the equipment to do it, go for it. Worst case it breaks, which it doesn't sound like you care too much about.
What's the bike and the type of terrain you are riding on? Might be able to fit a larger volume tire and go tubeless to run lower air pressure. You do know to stand up over rough terrain, right?

Well I don't want to get injured but as I said I doubt it would be a problem with taking .008" away from the wall thickness.
I am basically using it as an on-road bike now.
It's an early 90s mountain bike, the wheels are narrow, 21.5mm. They measure .850" outside on the braking surface. It has 26x2.100" tires now.
Yes I know to stand, I had a mountain bike many moons ago and dirt bikes and currently a DS cycle.
I plan on trying tubless on these wheels to see if it will work.
I am just riding the streets/bike paths now which are relatively smooth. Biking seems a lot rougher than I remember it being 30+ years ago lol.
I have 12acres in AZ, which is hilly with washes and mostly gravel like ground. If I decide I want to get into it more there(after I move) I would probably try to find something with FS.
