Summer tyre sizing

I currently have a '08 Rockhopper that I have upgraded with Hope mini monos and an Easton Haven Bar (a HUGE improvement in control over the originals)
For the winter I have been running Bontrager Mud Xs in 2.0.
For the coming spring/summer I would like to run a bigger/faster tyre.
The reviews of the Maxxis Ardent 2.25in tyres appeal to me - I am starting to push my agression levels (within reason for the frame).
Would they fit on my standard wheels, or would they cause problems?

    I am just feeling optimistic due to this weeks sunshine . . .just trying to ignore the gale force winds!
    specs for my bike from the Spec website are:

    http://www.specialized.com/gb/gb/bc/SBC ... spid=34006

    RIMS Specialized/Alex RH 26, double wall, CNC w/ eyelets

    FRONT HUB Specialized Hi Lo disc, 28h, CNC flange and disc mount, polished races, alloy QR

    REAR HUB Specialized Hi Lo disc, cassette, 32h, CNC flanges and disc mount, polished races, alloy QR

    SPOKES 1.8mm (15g) stainless, alloy nipples, black

    All pretty much gibberish to me, but i am concerned that the 2.25 ardents may have trouble on my rims?
