I'm not sure what the ground clearance is, probably no more than an inch and a
half at the spoiler behind the front wheel. It's off the ground just enough to
not hit the ground if you get a flat and are on the rim. My fork seems to have
a bit more room than most, and I think it would take a 20x1.25 tire. Most
that I've seen can only take a Conti GP or a Sport Contact; a Stelvio might be
too tall. In the back, I have a 23. It might take a 28, but I wouldn't count
on it; I'd want to do a test-fit before I bought one that big.

Sorry for the vague answers; I just haven't done any measurements.
