It's really not all that hard to make a cardboard profile tire to check clearance. Get a rim that has proper offset, cut a chunk of cardboard that fits down in the rim 90 degrees to direstion of rotation. Where it hits on the body, take a measurement. That is the biggest tire you can fit. Make sure the axle is supported in the proper configuration. You should probably subtract a couple of inches for suspension travel, but I have seen people who constantly scuff their tires.
