Fitting wider 25mm - 28mm tyres onto narrow rims is a bad idea ?

25 isn't wide, 28 isn't either, unless you are using a *really* narrow rim. Something open pro size will be fine with pretty much anything you care to fit, as long as you aren't daft with pressures.

Wiider rims should be fitted as it's been know for wide tyres to blow off the rim at high pressures!

if you're going to fit 35s on a 15 mm rim, then pump them up to 7 bar, you deserve to have your tyres blow off! Wrong tool for the job on so many levels!

What about frames which have close clearances and the gap at the bottom bracket can be very tight

don't go too big then......

Have any of you guys thought about this ?

Yup, all of it.

I'm sure you could squeeze one of these on an MA40 with some perseverance!
