Yes, I routinely run continental (something... Edit: sportcontact, wonderful tires) 37's with some ancient bluemels lightweight fenders without a shred of issue.

Fenders:
For the lack of chainstay bridge I drilled a hole (PITA to do, had to use a drill press, any handheld drill would just dance off) in the little fender clip for the chainstay bridge and used the FD pulley bolt to anchor it there. The fender is a little rotated back, but other than that, I haven't noticed any issue with the shifting (probably used a washer too, I'll have to look in the morning and be back with pictures). You can just barely see it in the full resolution picture I have up on imgur.

I thought I was pretty clever.
