It's also overhead clearance, and that's where most people fall short. Insufficient width means you don't have good coverage. Insufficient overhead clearance means you can get a stick or a stone caught in there. But yes, 45 is generally the right width for 32mm tires.

Thnks for the link, On Fender Size, he states, "Generally, fenders should be about 40% wider than your tire"
I have 32mm and 40% wider = 44.8mm or 45m.  I use the 45mm wide SKS P45's

    Is the 2cm you quote,  (Fender Width)  -  (Tire Width), in other
    words the total clearance.
