I think you should try them as they are with fat tires. If they feel funny or don't inspire confidence, try to get wider rims with a similar ERD to the MA-3, and move them over, spokes and all.
I rolled a tire on Sunday, a 60mm Big Apple (really 53mm wide) on a WTB SpeedDisc wheel, but I have no plans to change the front tire. I think it's a fluke. http://www.biketinker.com/2011/projects/gravel-road-test-ride/ I did balk at putting those tires on narrow Cold Fusion rims, though. The dyno wheel I built for that bike works better on another one anyway.
