    a few mill wider than the rim with is minimum you can go really.

    the rim width is printed on good wheels, or just measure the width after you take the tyre off.

    If the rim is standard (mavic XC) mtb width then 1.0", if its a standard cheap wheel I would go 1.25. The tyre has to be wider than rim
