It is not a bike so it is not going to have bike like geometry issues when you swap out the wheel. everything is in a strait line.

What do you want the fat tire for? If it is to help jumping with the unicycle you should probably look at getting a trials wheelset. They are 19x2.5" (often listed as 20x2.5) wheels which give you the same outside diameter as a regular 20x2.0 wheel.

I am not sure if the the sun frame is wide enough to fit a trails wheelset but if it is you could give it a try.

Personally thought if you are going to be doing upgrades to a unicycle it might make more sense to start with something more middle of the line like a Nimbus or Torker and go from there.

There is a good chance that the frame might brake if you abuse it too much riding it like a trails. Sun unicycles were never designed for that kind of riding.
