This is exactly what I did after recently installed some PB hardcore fenders. I also mounted the fender stay to the front of the fender to rotate it up for a bit more clearance.
Like CptjohnC I went on a 22-mile ride after installation and had a couple toe strikes in really tight turns. So far after trimming the mounting arms and a couple adjustments it hasn't been an issue.
Hope this helps.
