Front and rear tire size question: would a Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.4" tire fit?

This setup works great on red clay here. TIA

2.25 easy but 2.4 will be close to the frame/fork

close is ok as there's no mud-riding here; everything closes when it rains.
Not fitting, on the Lefty or the frame, is another story.

Borrowed a friend's custom race bike with RaRa 2.4's and was amazed how fast it rolled, while having tons of climbing and cornering traction. Not the most durable tires, but the benefits were noticeable.

Any tire clearance photos or measurements would be appreciated.

I would also like to see such photos or measurements of the tire clearance.

2.4 anything shouldn't be on a XC race bike

the_marsbar you asked a couple of questions in a pm, and I am having trouble with my pm for some reason so I am just going to post the info here.

I am 5'9" tall with a 33" inseam with bare feet, 32 in pants. Center of bb to top of seat is 28.75". The medium fs-i fits well so far. Still tweaking everything on it but have put 50 miles on it in the past 2 days and it has been great.

The saddle is fantastic. It's the second best part of the bike... I'm still trying to figure out what the best part is.
