How wide can I go on the tires for my Fuji Tread?
I have a 2015 Fuji Tread 1.5 Disc. It has stock 32c wheels and 32c tires. I'm thinking of going bigger (35-38c). I think it's doable but thought maybe someone here is familiar with my exact bike and would know for sure. Thank you!

Why is every one allergic to measuring their own stuff?

My first instinct is usually to google. I found a user here who seemed knowledgeable and has my exact bike. I was going to ask them but this message board requires 10 posts before a user can do that. So, I figured what the heck, I'd ask here.

What the heck, why not take a ruler and measure the current clearance between tire and frame/caliper? Why depend on second hand info when the answer is in your hands? Andy

Mine is off by a year and I think it came with 38 mm tires but I went narrower. They're right above, just measure and do some simple math.
I think your wheel nomenclature is off--they're 700c wheels ("c" is an ISO standard), and rim and tire width are measured in mm. Your tires are 700c x 32 mm. The rims on my bike are quite narrow, around 16 to 18 mm. I just put 16 mm rim tape on and it barely fit. I doubt yours are 32 mm wide.
