Is the 650b tire width 48mm (1.89in)? Would the frame and stock wheel accommodate a 2.8" width tire such as the Schwalbe Moto X 27.5 x 2.8"? Thanks.
 
A couple of comments:

1. My understanding is that the 650b tire width is 47mm - this is the width of the WTB Horizon Road Plus tire that came on my Current purchased in 2020.
2. 2.8" would likely be much too large. I believe ~ 2.0" is about the max tire width that would fit with fenders and perhaps slightly larger without fender. The specific tire being considered would also have an impact on this.
 
Has anyone successfully put a wider tire on the Current, esp. with the fender (or an alternate fender)?
