    That depends on the rim, maybe you could measure that?

    Each rim will have a range of tyres that can fit on it. Sheldon brown has a chart for that. But most rim manufacturers will have too. Any idea of the make and model of the rim?

    You need to check the rim width. Having said that 40/42 to 26 might be pushing it, 28 might be a better bet. Most hybrids with 40mm tyres have quite wide rims.
