How big are you going to go in the future? 53 guards are obviously going to look ridiculous over 28c tyres and even kinda large over 35c. They'll work though. A decent rule of thumb is that the guards should be 10mm bigger than the tyres
Maybe up to 42 mm. It looked like you can also get bluemels in 42 mms width, but not sure they'll really keep me very dry if I'm running 35mm+ tyres?
I had 38c and 45mm guards for a long while and it worked well. They were fully slick tyres though.
