The frame clearance "might' work.. the rims almost certainly will not.
My Mavic M40 rims (1986) are so narrow that a 26mm tires feels to wide... a 28mm is really odd looking. I didn't measure it but reckon its about 17mm internal width.
The Hunt aero road rims on the gravel bike are 22.5mm internal (35mm external) and designed for 28mm tires. I'm running slick 36mm tires at 35 psi with tubes (or tubeless) to improve the ride. I "may" be leaving 1 km/h average on the road with that... I may go for 30mm during the summer to see what that gives me.
Changing to non aero wheels makes a significant difference in average speeds.
