Ahh I must have.... as I said I simply looked at the picture and maybe its the angle but it looks in that photo like there is little space as just a little mud on a rainy day could cause some issues . But I trust you when you say it's got room . Are there certain tires you have tried that fit well ? Some tires can be a 40mm tire and when you throw it on a 25mm wheel it is actually 42mm. I'll also remember to keep on eye on that screw inside the headset

So your perceived "almost no room to spare" is 6.4mm per side with my particular 41.2mm tires. 8mm per side with a tire that measure to 38mm. Plenty IMO.
