There are several Pass Hunter versions. Bought my rim brake version frame in December, 2015. Widest tire I can fit under the fenders is 32mm. Based on that, I would not recommend my version of the Pass Hunter to the OP since he is looking for wider tires. That said, I really like my Pass Hunter but I have other bikes that can take wider tires.
