This is 20-year-old memory now but my experience says 35 with fenders is optimistic. I'm fairly certain I tried that size Pasela with SKS fenders and I got up to some serious fender cutting around the (stock) brakes to make it work; I'm not convinced 559 brakes will make much difference at the top and sides, they're just longer arms. Add that - in my understanding - metal fenders need more room than plastic and I'm going to advise 32mm as the fattest tire a Romulus can run with fenders.
