Default 700c 25mm tires on Weinmann ZAC19 rims ok?

Are 700c 25mm road bike tires ok on these or is that pushing it? The lip
to lip dimension inside is 19mm. Says 28 but maybe someone knows whether
25mm would fit.

http://www.weinmanntek.com/Products/MTB/ZAC19.htm

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.

Sheldon had a chart showing minimum and maximum tire and rim widths. I
don't think he was the originator of the chart as I
seen other versions, but from my limited use it seemed to be
sufficiently accurate.

Uh-oh, looks close.

Problem is, I can't exceed 130mm between the dropouts for the wheel and
even that's a stretch (the frame is 126mm). This limits the selection of
ready-to-go wheels.

As long as the tire won't come off, dig itself into the rim or slide
around on there I'd be ok.

I does? The non-disc road standard is still 130mm. There are tons of wheels out there for 130mm spaced frames, and re-spacing your frame from 126mm to 130mm is a breeze, assuming it is needed.

I've never seen a road wheel with 12g spokes -- not on a sport frame. You're trying to use a mid-fi club racer for a cargo bike. You should get a cargo bike or a gravel bike.

I meant with 12g SS spokes.

It will be necessary. No problem bending it up but if I have to
straighten the slotted drop-outs afterwards that is probably more
tricky. Not sure, never done that.

For heavy guys who sometimes carry a load and must weather some rougher
roads it makes sense.

I like this old bike. It has sturdy rack eyelets and a nice rack on
there. Works well. Why should I buy a whole new steel trekking bike for
$1500 when I can buy a wheel for $100 and be done with it? Plus then

my wife would want me to get rid of the Gazelle road bike and I just
can't do that. It would be like throwing away a 50's era Porsche.

The only downside of this bike is that it doesn't have low gears for
steeper hills. So I have to use the MTB for such rides but that's not a
big deal, comes at a small speed penalty and life isn't about racing
through it. At least not for me.

Having been there and done that I would suggest that if the drop-outs
require aligning that you take it to a shop. Not that aligning the
frame is an overwhelming problem rather that a shop will (hopefully)
have the correct tools which makes a successful outcome far more
likely.

Yup. Though a couple of long enough screws should also do the trick.
First I have to find a good wheel though. If I end up having to rebuild
one around the old Shimano 600 hub I won't need to bend up the frame.
