Be serene, acushla. Open Pros are perfectly wide enough for 40 mm tires. Breathe deeply in relief and gratitude.
I rode thousands of miles with 2" tires on much narrower rims -- 19 mm outside to outside, with nary a fall or slip. I rode 65mm actual Big Apples on 24 mm outside to outside rims, at sub 15 psi. Absolutely not a problem, apart from the funny squirmy feel on pavement -- but then, I'd just pump them to a hard 20/25, and all would be well.
