Maybe consider 32mm for more safety on the front? Locking up the back wheel can be bad but locking up a front wheel can be catastrophic.
I wanted to put fenders on my road bike that has 28mm tires. It looked like plenty of room, I had some spare fenders, tried to install them and it was just too tight to be practical. Sometimes what looks like a lot of room isn't so roomy once you try it.
