I have handsome cycles Mud Butlers in 45mm (very similar to VO hammered) over 38mm slick gravelkings. I wouldn't want to try and fit anything wider under them, I'd say close to the limit of functional clearance. 40mm tyres would fit but you'd probably start to get rub if you put in any kind of effort and you might start to get side-spray too.

Is anyone running VO hammered or smooth guards in 700x45 over 40c tyres? For some reason they only seem to offer 52mm size in the ‘zeppelin’ which I don’t think will look right on a modern bike, but hard to tell what they actually look like from stock pictures.
What are the alternatives for a nice pair in that price point? I want black ones of course.
