I had a similar issue with my Homer. To get more clearance for fenders with wider tires I found a very clean set of Mafac Raids, and put them on my Homer, they work very well. Compass make centerpulls that are very similar to the Raids but $$$. Paul Components Racer's are also very nice with reach between 559's and the Raids. So yes I would consider centerpulls. I got my Raids for around 60$ on EBay, but it took a while.
