Thanks for all the replies & info.
Sadly i looked today, and there is definitely not enough room. The whole thing is set up for 26 inch wheels. I would need a new fork with proper spacing, and the rear rack mounts (not moveable) only give enough clearance for the fender.
Happily, though, i can say that my plan to put a fatter tire on the back is still possible. New wheels are definitely still a go once i get the money together, but they are gonna have to be 26 inchers.
