28x2.0 / 29x2.0 / 700x50C fit on a crosscheck, but that's nothing like an MTB. But for reference here's what I'm dealing with:

That's probably 1cm of clearance around the tire. I fully intended to mount fenders when I got these tires but it's just too small of an area. Un-true wheels rub. frame flex from dropping the hammer rubs. people have made it work with some elbow grease, but at the time i was commuting full time and didn't have the time or desire for high-maintenance fender solutions. If i wreck and bend a stay, it's not acceptable for me to be unable to ride home.
