Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
The 559mm rim is about 22” so with 2.125” tires on both sides gives about 26”.
A skinnier 1.5” (e.g., commuter) tire would also be shorter, so 22” + 1.5” twice might be closer to 25”.
Sometimes it is the chain stay bridge that is a limiting factor, sometimes the seat stay bridge.
I just thought that 559 wheels and tires might be easier to obtain.
