This is what I would do.

The OP said he would rarely run a 32 and wanted to run a 30 tire. His current 28's measure 29 and fit. This is a lot of stress over a couple mms. I'd just accept it and ride it.

This isnt a knock on the OP, as I understand where he is coming from but a realistic question: Do people really think there is a significant ride difference in literally a mm or two of tire width?
