Monster 700 tires. On a lark I swapped my 700x42 wheel off the cross check and onto the 1x1. There was room for even more tire, could easily have gone to 2" or maybe a 2 1/4". The only thing your really doing is raising the bottom bracket height, so watch the boys on the top tube.
There are lots of pics on the MTBR forum
