Measure the inside width of the rim. Theoretically the tire width should be within 1.4 and 2.0 times the rim inside width per ISO standards. This is frequently exceeded even by bike manufacturers who fit wider tires than ISO recommends for a particular rim width. For some of the really wide tires it is hard to find rims as wide as ISO recommends.
I would not expect a problem.
