Okay, I finally got around to measuring. The overall wheel/tire diameter is right in the 28.5" vicinity. Rear casing width is 48mm (35mm Gordo rim) and front is 44mm (24mm rim).
Interestingly, the tires both measure about the same overall diameter. The Gordo rim "spreads" the tread to a rounder provile, which is kind of nice.
