I run my saluki with 38 mm pari moto tires, paul's neo retro canti's and shorty pads. The standard pads are, as you have discovered, too long to clear the fork. I talked to pauls about this and they said building a brake that is further down the rim increases the probability of brake shudder. I suppose with the weaker shimano brakes this is less of a problem. I haven't noticed any difference in the braking with the shorter pads.
Paul's brakes are expensive but they will last forever and all the parts are readily replaceable. Plus, after the early learning curve you will discover they are very easy to set up and rarely need adjustment.
