They will... as long as you're not concerned about tight clearance. I own a 54cm Nashbar touring frame. With 700x35 Vittoria Randonneur Pro tires installed but no fenders, there's something like 0.375-0.5in of clearance between the tire and the chainstay brace. When I installed fenders last winter (SKS P45s), the lack of clearance made me nervous enough that I switched from 700x35 to 700x32 tires.
