A Vigorelli with the proper mudguard fittings? I run SKS Cromoplastics and 25C tyres (Open Pro rims) on mine. It's no problem. You could probably fit 28C in but the limiting factor is the rear bridge - unless you've specced the rear brake upgrade the fixing bolt attaches from underneath, i.e. through the mudguard, so the bolt head protrudes through on the inside of the guard and restricts the amount of clearance. You might be able to use a lower profile bolt or a different method of attaching it if you really wanted larger tyres.
Let me know if you want pics.
