Had an FXE with the winter/grass/mudguard fork.
I could fit Conti 35mm CX race tyres, loads of caliper room, issue was sidewall clearance was minimal to the point of a muddy ride or any flex in front wheel or wheel out of true would have the side wall rubbing away the carbon fork.
I reckoned on 32 max and avoid very muddy towpaths or park rides would be okay, which is handy as a lot of choice on cx tyres in that size.
Rear is a case of altering sprocket size/chain length to get the tyre back enough to clear.
