What to put a set of 26 x 2,35 tires on my 40's Ward Hawtmorne? Looking for input about weather they will fit and if some one has tried this. Don't want to spend the $$$$$ if they won't fit. Thanks for the input

I bought a Huffy Regatta that had a 3-speed wheel set I saw on Craigslist. Not knowing the tire size(26x235). Long story short, I have to let the air out of the rear tire each time it goes on/off. Also the man I bought the Huffy from, said after a week the tires started rubbing the fender struts, true, they did. I had to true the wheels before they would clear my Monarks chain stays and front fork. Everything is very close but no rubbing anywhere.

I have a 39 Wards Hawthorne with 24'x 3.00
They fit in fine,the 3.00" brings them up to a 26" in size.
You could always widen the stays by a cm or 2.
