Sorry dude, but it doesn't work like that. If you fit too wide a tyre, or in other words a tyre not designed to fit on your rim, it won't seat properly against the bead and will blow off the rim when under pressure. Also, the profile will change significantly from designed and could/will have a fairly advserse effect on handling. There's more to it than simply "clearance".

What type of trail tyre are you after gooner mate? As long as you buy an 18" rear tyre and 21" front tyre you'll be ok, as said the DT has a wide swing arm and you should be ok with most sizes.
4.00X18 is the largest i know of. standard is the 4.10X18. I was looing at the MT43 on the rear.. My m8 alan has one on his DTR.. says it brill. He also said it slightly gears up the bike as the profile is higher.
