If this is information that could be helpful for people wondering about frame clearance, could there be a mega-thread with people submitting their own data in one place?
Just an idea

would be kinda dumb, so many brands of tires that are measured in different ways, which will measure differently depending on your psi, not to mention the amount of rims.
basically, don't go bigger than 28's and you should be fine.
I mean, that's the reason behind what I'm proposing, to gather information from various set ups/combos.
If anyone is wondering what size tires will fit their frame, all they need to do is measure/eyeball how much clearance they have on both sides with their current tires. Then, add that distance to the width of the tire minus 3-4 mm to accommodate a wheel that isn’t perfectly true.
This seems to be the fastest and most accurate as opposed to people with conflicting measurements of the same frame i.e. does a Dolan Precursa max out at 25mm or 28mm? I’ve heard both. Only way to know for sure is to measure your frame.
I don't think you'll get very reliable or useful measurements.
A "will it clear?" database of frame + rim + tire might work if you could get enough people participating, but a Reddit thread probably isn't the tool for that.
