The only thing I'd add to this discussion (since it's already been noted that there's some variation in fender/tire clearance with Ram's) is that the brakes make a big difference. The Shimano brakes that came with my Ram have brake arms that press against the fenders when you squeeze the brakes. They were still OK with SKS45's and Pasela 32's on my Synergy or Open Pro rims. But when I switched to a wider Velocity A23 rim, recently, the effective cross-sectional diameter of my tire increased so that now it rubbed on the fender when I squeezed the brakes. Solution was to switch to some Tektro 559's that I had lying around. The arms are flatter across the top and don't pinch the fenders as much.
