Absolutely, I road much of last summer with a Reynold's carbon wheel out back and a Race Face ARC 40 on a True Precision hub up front with 2.6" rear tire and a 3" front tire. I had the outline for a piece about it and then Crankbrothers totally stole my thunder with their wheel program.
If WR1 made a i40 rim I would definitely consider the investment for a rear rim (paired with a 2.6" tire) and match it with something alloy up front. It's one of those cases where the companies I'd buy a carbon rim from don't make i40 and the companies that make i40 I'm not interested in buying their rims.
