The Sam H. isn't made to fit such tires unfortunately. 1 mm sounds really tight, and possibly the tires will stretch in time so the studs will start to touch eventually, so even if you get fenders to work, you can get other problems. It's not absolutely sure they will stretch, but many tires do. Those Finnish tires are really good though, and hopefully their new more environment friendly rubber mixture are as good as the old one. I have a pair more than fifteen years old that still work really well, with soft rubber even though it has lots of cracks.
