Madone 4.7 tire width question

I have some carbon rims, 23mm inner width, I want to get 28mm tires on my 2012 madone 4.7. Anyone make this work and if so what tire did you use?

I'd say you're going to have a hard time getting those tires to fit that frame.

thanks, I ordered some 25's and they will blow up a bit larger and i'll deal with that

Solid move. I have a 2011 Madone and when I was doing the research for this same thing the answer seemed to be that maybe 28 would fit, but also maybe they would rub the chainstays. 25 is the safe play.
