Fat bike rim strip width question

I posted this in shop talk but it probably should be posted here. Would sun ringle 60mm rim strips that are made for an 80mm outer/74 inner width work with Alexrims Blizzerks 70/63.4 outer/inner, or should I purchase the Surly 45mm rim strip to have more surface for the tape to contact the rim? I will be using whiskey 80mm tape and will trim to the hook. Thanks in advance.

Very little importance, imo. For fatbike/plus rims, you really just need to cover the cutouts+a bit more. The more room you have for tape adhesion to the actual rim, the better.
