Clearance on fork and rear is 5cm across for a tire- plenty for about as big as I can imagine wanting to go. Clearance from the outer edge of the rim to the underside of the fork/rear fender mount is 4.3cm.
With the tires I have mounted (32c) there is a solid 2cm of space for fenders.

I am simply dumbfounded by the (fill in the blank) of internet trolls who speak to that which they know nothing about. I even mounted the fenders before I posted and they fit fine! Even between the seat tube there was plenty of room, and if it became a problem (which it won't since there's just as much clearance as there is on my other two bikes with fenders), I can get a slightly longer chain and slide the tire away from the frame a little more in the dropouts. Tons of clearance for fenders!
