Another Tire Question

Went to try some Atomic front tires, Part #AR141 (The ones with the deep cross hatch pattern) They appear wider than my other front tires and indeed do hang over the rim when installed. Am I supposed to use a slightly wider rim for them? If so, can someone recommend what wheels to get so they fit properly?

front tires are typically 8.5mm narrow/standard tires. rear tires are typically 11mm wide tires

Builthatch actually explained the problem in his "silly tire questions" thread. I had the ridge on the tire facing the wrong way forcing the tire to seat improperly and overhang the rim. When I turned the tire around it fit nicely.
