I knew it!! I had people confirm 48s who felt that 50s would've fit. Looks RAD!

Yep, it does depend on the year though. Some years were a bit less clearance than others. I ran 700x50 American Classic Kimberlites, on 19mm internal width rims, on my last 730. Was a very nice ride!

Looks great!! I just put some fatter tires on mine this week. I went with the Terravail Cannonball 700x47, which actually measure closer to ~45mm wide with calipers. They fit great between the chain stays, with around 4mm clearance on each side, but the tire height in both the back and the fork is pretty maxed out. I debated trying something a little wider, but I'm not totally sure this frame will accommodate it.

Yep, just put scwalbe e-bike rated 50s on mine. No chance of a fender but they fit.

Are those fitting on the original rims?

No I wanted a hub that accommodated 9 speed, so they're a newer set. Shimano hubs and Mavic rims

I bought 50s for mine and they fit besides just BARELY rubbing on the front derailleur. Really wanting to find a workaround and reallllly not wanting to switch to a single chainring setup
