Regardless if it's a silly idea. I've seen much nuttier bikes out there.
Take a tire off and measure your wheel width between the inside beads on the rim. Then compare it with the ISO recommendations on the Schwalbe web site. Some MTB rims are as narrow as 17mm which will take a 23mm to 25mm tire. MTB rims can vary enormously in inside width though.
