netherless, beside slapping him, the only option is to tell him that on road you do not need the amount of braking power that an MTB bicycles does, even if you're obese, thirdly, him being a humungus man of person, a 23c tyres would be more than enough to sustain the weight he'll strain on the bike.
all you need to do is suggest him a bicycle that at least can accept cyclocross tyres if he's insistence on needing big wheel for big boy.
