What's the biggest tire a 58cm Toyo Atlantis (700c) will fit?

[Jose]

I'm shopping for tires for my recently acquired Toyo-made Atlantis. 

Seat tube = 58cm (measured from the center of BB to top of the seat tube)

Wheels = 700c

What are the biggest tires this frame will fit? Thanks!

The WTB Nanoraptors fit fine.

I fit 29 x 2.2 continental race king mounted to cliffhangers, I think actual was 54mm. It was so tight that the rear tired rubbed the paint of the chainstays. I would recommend keeping it at 50mm or below, especially on modern rims. 

I know the old catalogues said 700x52 nanoraptors fit, but a tire that actually measures 52mm is going to be a tight squeeze.

I find that 2.1 Thunder Burt’s or Vitoria Mezcal fit fine. Some 2.2 will fit. I have atlas rims on my Toyo Atlantis.

I've got 55s (2.2") on mine.

Would love to see pics of the entire bike if possible. Thanks!

A pretty safe choice would be to pick the Rene Herse 700x48 that has the tread pattern and casing that you want.  They have a slick, a knobby and a semi slick, and are all very good tires.  Not cheap but hard to beat.
