...in the one pictured in the OP, those are 700x28's. With some judicious fender fiddling, you can probably get 32's on there, but I've never actually tried to go that wide. I would need to figure out something to raise my fenders to get 32's to work. On the front, you could go with mounting the fender using one of those thingies that uses a fender washer and a bolt up through the fork crown, that grabs into a fitting that slides onto the brake caliper mounting bolt....a Daruma. I've made my own using old MAFAC brake shoe holders, a fender washer, some tire rubber, and a properly sized and threaded nut. VO sells them.
