Are you asking whether the tire will fit on the rim, or on the bike once the tire's on the rim?

My guess is that it's the first. I've got a set of those wheels, and they're really difficult to install any tires on...which is why they're sitting in the shed and not on a bike. As for whether it'll fit on the bike with that 32c tire installed, that's iffy. Most road bikes will accommodate 25s, many will take 28s, not many will take 32s. I doubt that the fact that it's a 32 is what's giving you problems. That rim might be too narrow for a 32 as well, but I don't know - an email to Performance might clear that part up.

If you've drank the "don't need tools to install a tire" koolaid, stick your finger down your throat and get rid of it. You'll need two sturdy tire levers to get a tire on that wheel. I don't need tire levers to install tires on my Open Pro rims, but do on others.
