I will order the rim and tire specifically for this and don't already have a wheel like that, so "just trying" won't work.
Just a thought - why don't you just get a big apple tyre first and try it on the stock wheel?
As its a 'balloon tyre', I'm wondering if its actually designed to cope better with thinner rims than say a 2.35 knobbly MTB ??
Don't know this for certain, just wondering. I have 2.35 big apples on a 19mm rim on a different bike, and they seem fine.
