With the original rear fender, there is indeed not enough clearance between the tire and the fender, sooner or later dirt will clog between the tire and the fender.
Removing the mudflap of the rear fender is a very bad idea, it is this mudflap that mostly protect the rider.
Front will no problems. The rear may as well. I see no problem with the mud flap or at the front. The tire will be 1/8-inch taller and 1/16-inch wider at each side. I could possible raise the rear flap an 1/8-inch if I had too.
It may not work out in practice. The next time I need a tire I will buy one and try and post. Right now I don't need one. If it does not work in rear I can use it in the front where cushion is needed more.
