My rule of thumb with fenders is tire size+5-10mm=fender size.  I
always lean towards +10mm since i hate tiny clearances that start
rubbing with the slightest knock.  So, for 45mm tires you want
something in the 50-55mm range.  SKS fenders are named by their width,
so the P50's should work.  At least that's what harris says:
