Just measured. I stand by my 30mm statement. There is plenty of width but heigh is the issue. Keep in mind the a-c of the fork changed slightly when it was re-raked. However, the height restriction is similar in the back by the brake bridge. In terms of width, for a 700c wheel, there are ~42mm at the chain stays, ~55mm at the rear bridge, and ~44mm at the fork. While a 32mm tire might fit in the frame, I think you'd need a brake with particularly high clearance to make that work. I don't have any 32mm road tires to test.
For 650b, 42mm is the max. If you're particularly...creative and so inclined, you could probably get fenders to work. But it would be a tight fit.
