Before getting any answers, you have to know how old your Atlantis is. The first couple of production runs had less clearance than what became the norm for the Atlantis.

Mike:

26" or 700c wheels?

How aggressive a tire are you considering? A trekking / expedition or
a full-on knobby?

Mike:

I've been using Schwalbe's Marathon Supreme on my Atlantis for several
years with good results. My riding is mostly pavement but I don't
hesitate to wander off-road on these. I started with 35 mm & have
been using 40 mm for a little over a year now. I have fitted a 50
with no trouble; 46 mm actualy width at 50 psi on a Mavic A 719 rim,
with lots of frame clearance.

If you want a more off-roadish tire, Schwalbe's Mondial looks pretty
good & goes up to 47 mm. The Extreme seems to be fading away on
Schwalbe's website; only 26" listed now.

I've been happy with Schwalbe but I'm sure Continental et al make
comparable tires. Someone out there will correct me if I'm wrong but
I think you can be confident stuffing anything in the 50 mm / 2" width
range into an Atlantis. I run 50 psi & have to nudge the 40 mm thru
the front brake but it's no big deal.

Max spec. tire is a 700x55 for 700c , 2.35" for a 26" . 

Real world width though depends on the actual width of the tire and the rim.

Not that this answers the OP's question specifically but for the
benefit of future searches.

Currently running 52mm, 50mm actual Michelin Country Dry2 (my favorite
cheapies) tires. Just barely fitting between the fork and tire is a
Planet Bike Cascadia (ATB version?) fender. It's very tight. No
problems with clearance in the rear. You could run a wider rear tire
and correspondingly wider fender. I probably run a wider tire than I
should with the fender combo. Will probably go with 50mm Supremes
next since it seems most get a 46mm actual width.

cj,

with the 700x50mm Michelins how much extra side to side room, front andrear,  do you have for even a wide tire?

you are the only one who has helped so far

I have 50mm Marathon Supremes on mine, and I can still fit Berthoud fenders in there.  It's a bit tight, but not enough to worry about (at least for Tom "What Me Worry?" Allingham).
