I just picked up a used pirelli 190 to try.
I should have my wide rear rim in a week or two, but I'm sending it off to the powdercoater, then have to get it laced, so it will be a couple months before I can report how well it fits (or doesn't fit).

An old Metzler brochure that has a section on fitting wider tires calls for at least 1/4" of clearance between the chain and tire (as little as 1mm for belt drives).
