Check your clearence in the rear triangle. My tequesta can take 1.95 tires both fron and back and it's pretty tight. I used 45x17 and now use 44x19, and 39x17 on the other gt (magic gear). Both fixed gear, 6 bolt disc cogs from velosolo. Easy, but i find it ideal for city cruising, wider tires and riding up on steeper hills.
I have mavic xm319 disc wheel on the rear, i think it's either 17 or 19mm internal width. No need for wider than that. It can take tires up to 2.3. So Bombproof that they are straight like the first day. And i have some super shitty roads here and ride higher pressure too. Check your clearences! It seems to me that your fork can take 2.3 but not sure about the back. My fork is a bit different and 1.95 is the limit. Almost rizla :D the other one has loads of space and can take 2.5 and more as well.
