could there be problems running a narrow 2.2 tire and a wide Mag30 rim? could this cause more pinch flats?

thnks

Ive run 3.0s on Rhino Lites and had no problems. you should be fine

I actually think that it might help prevent pinch flats... I believe the debate about tire profile comes into play though. Fat tire, narrow rim = side lugs more horizontal. Narrow tire, fat rim = side lugs more vertical. By that theory, you might be giving up a little cornering traction; only a theory though...

ride smoother, it prevents pinches.

Fall less, it allows you to have shoes with laces.

I tried this with my Arrow DHX rims (some of the widest rims made) running 2.25's and 2.35's on them. It sure does give the tire a pretty square profile. I did notice some corning traction lost but not that big of a difference. I always ran high pressures to aviod against pinch flats.

If anything I'd run the smaller tire in the rear and a larger one front. It's always a good combo/fast rolling idea/design. I never dented/dinged/did anything wrong to my rims from running a 2.25 on the rear or front. It just looks funny IMO. Now I got a 2.7/2.5 on the same set of rims and you can tell the 2.7 was ment for that rim, 2.5 is as small as I'd wanna go OR a true 2.35 sized rear.

Pinch flatting less of a problem, denting and damaging your rim might be your bigger problem.
