Are 700c 25mm road bike tires ok on these or is that pushing it? The lip

25mm would fit.

Reason I ask is because I could potentially get a nice rear wheel with
12ga spokes. My current one breaks spokes all the time plus the rim will
soon be up anyhow.
Not recommended. Use a 28mm or wider tire on a 19mm rim.

Additionally, on a frame/fork that can only accept 25mm or smaller
tires, your 25mm tire may end up too wide to fit when mounted on a
wide rim, so be careful.
You might look for wheels with double-butted spokes; they will be
stronger and you'll break fewer spokes!
I've done it, and it was marginal. Not so bad as a "NONO! Don't do
that!", but, well, a bit close.
