fattest tires possible on a Schwinn Middleweight with S-7 ?

[norcal]

I just did the math, and discovered that I have an extra Schwinn middleweight frame, and an extra set of S7 wheels.

Does anybody know the fattest tires I can fit? I don't want to switch rims, but I can puff out the frame if needed. It is just the "26x1 3/4" size that get's me.

I have some of those 26 x 2 x 1 3/4 tires for my wife's bike, but can anybody think of anything even fatter that can fit in there?

theres nothing else to fit those rims except what you've got.

Go back to CCR's post and pay attention.

"NOTHING ELSE WILL FIT"

.
The Schwinn S-7 rim/tire, 26 X 1 3/4 (571) as differentiated by the fractional notation is not the same size as any rim/tire notated with a decimal measurement.
"26" inch tires (559) in sizes 1.75, 2.125, etc are not the same.

I've looked for years. The widest is the 26 x 2 x 1 3/4. It fits the middleweight frames easily. It even fit on a Varsity lightweight, barely though.

A little research shows that someone is making such a tire: CST Cruiser 241 Tire (Cheng Shin). It is a 2 inch for the S-7 rim. Very odd for such an obsolete rim but lucky.
