Welcome to the club! In my humble opinion, THE best resource to be found for knowledge of motorized bicycles of any sort. Lots of great people here.
Depends on the frame, and motor mounts really. I used the same engine on an OCC bike with a huge back tire. It cleared fine, but the motor mount had to be built with that in mind.

You're welcome. We were all newbies once. 
Keep us up to speed on the development of the ride, and check the search function if you get lost. If you can't find what you need there, just ask. The more knowledgable folks will usually check in on your progress and lend a tip.

Welcome to the forum. In general, a 26x2 is the fattest tire you can run without chain interference unless you offset mount the engine. You could replace the rear tire with a 26x2 and keep the original back tire for a spare front tire.

I typed 'Felt MP' into the Search Feature and came up with a lot of reading on that particular bike. maybe some of it will be helpful to you.
