Michael,
Here is my thread on the same subject.
Or read below.

1. ON the SKS website, P45's are listed as "Rim 28", which may mean that 
their curve is for 28" rimmed wheels. Maybe that is why the nose sticks out 
like a motorcross bike, and why it is so hard to get them contoured, 
centered, and fenderline right.
 
My front fender nose sticks out on both of my bikes, and the pictures I 
have seen of of RBW bikes they also stick out, including the installation 
video if you pause it carefully to look right at the end.
 
The only solution I know of is to use a front rack or some other doo-dad 
that has a foot that will hold it down.
I have tried a lot of times, but nothing brings it down. Maybe Sheldon nut, 
mounting the bridge behind the fork crown?
 
2. Centering. It is a lot of tweaking to get it right. Just keep trying.
 
a. Maybe loosen dropout eyelet attachment bolt so fender will move freely 
as you adjust the stays, and then after you get everything where you want 
it, just tighten the eyelet bolts then.
b. Loosen all stay nuts and start centering from fork crown to rear stay in 
that order. And for the rear wheel, chainstay attachment to brake 
attachment to rear, in that order, so at least it is orderly.
 
I almost never get the fender perfectly centered, but close enough. Also 
fenderline is never perfect.
I would use metal fenders, but I like the quick release feature of the SKS 
fenders. They look great, too!
