The rims are these: http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/pluswide26-clearance-pair-of-rims.htm
and the tyres are 2.3's. I have about a cm of space around them front and back. I tried some 1.5 slicks on as well, and they fit the rims OK but looked tiny so I took them off.
The tyres measure exactly 2.3 - the rims haven't made them wider, just the sidewalls straighter I think.
Not sure if this pic shows the clearance any better.

Thank you. Wish I'd known about them before yesterday, haha. Paid the double. I hope mine at least will be lighter as they're single wall and the cutouts are bigger.
I have 62mm fre space at the chain stays so will put those tyres on the list. Ideally I'd want even slicker like kojak, but I want to fill the clearance to the absolutely fullest.

Very cool! What rims are they?
Can I ask you for a real life width measurement of the front tyre? I just ordered a set of 48mm rims and need a trusty gauge of what will go in my frame.
