Here is a picture of the clearance with no fender. Seems like plenty of room. This is with the 700x38. Once you get the fender on there though it is extremely tight. Its probably save to say that a 35 wouldnt get me much more clearance. If i can find a good set of used 45c fenders i think i am going to try the cut out method on them and then run tab mounts on both sides of the fork doing some fancy dremel work.
