Good thought, but it appears to me that the "bridge" (not sure what the technical term is) between the seat stays where the brake bolt hole is located does not have much if any more clearance than the calipers themselves - maybe 1-2 mm if that much. Seems that Jamis was not planning on anything remotely cushy on this bike.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions -- I think I will check out the Continentals and see how that works out.
