Big Apple tyres - clearance..?

My 2008 men's Dawes Discovery 301 currently has 28" (622-35) tyres (not sure of the frame size - does that make it a 22" frame?).
I want to put Big Apple 28"x2.35" tyres on.
Will I have a problem with frame clearance?
Do I need to stick to the 28"x2" Big Apples?
Many thanks for your help.

You'll struggle to get the 2.35" tyres in, and I'd imagine that the 2" probably wont fit either.
35mm is about 1.377" and IIRC they don't have a lot of spare clearance with the guards on.0 -
I haven't got mud guards on it - yet... can probably live without them (although they would be nice to have).
I glanced at it this morning and there was a fair bit of clearance around the existing tyres. I haven't measured it though.
Will the tyres deform in use and do I need to account for that?0
