Yeah, I doubt that'd take a 2.8" tyre.
I found this photo of a 2.4" tyre in one and it looks toight,
I'm sure I read 2.8" somewhere though.
Framebuilder supply listing for it says its just over 2.9" between the blades (https://framebuildersupply.com/products/pacenti-mtb-fork-crown-74mm-inside-width-biplane-design) which would be dry california clearance for a 2.8" not wet, muddy UK clearance!
I need to sit down and figure out if I can get legs long enough to build the fork I want anyway. Longest lug compatible legs listed on Ceeway are 430mm, I was thinking I wanted the a2c to be closer to 500mm.
Also need to get some more practice doing forks before I spend any money on nice crowns and the like.

This is a pacenti crown with a 2.1 tyre in. I'm not sure about a 2.8 with clearance for mud and what not. This only has a 100mm axle and axle/crown length 400mm so maybe a slightly longer mtb axle and a bit longer might make some extra clearance.
