Because the Thule passage carries bikes by the frame, the width of the tires won't affect the bike fit on the rack. As long as the single bike weight is under 35 lbs and the combined weight of the two bikes carried on the rack isn't greater than 70 lbs, the Passage will handle your bikes just fine.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance. I'll link you to a video showing how the adapter bar works as well as to a video featuring the Passage bike rack.
