Yeah she'll be right mate, just pump it up to 100psi overnight then deflate to your desired pressure and ride. The tyre will stretch from the overinflation and from general riding. I found the GKs tricky to mount the first time but now they go on with just my thumbs.
Alternatively you could look at some of the WTB tyres in 30c or 32c

Maybe? I can't see them stretching much like that though, as once the bead is over the rim it will happily go back to it's natural size. Plus I don't have a spare set of wheels to test that out on sadly.
