Just chop or file a section out of your SKS guards where it touches the brake caliper.

Got new wheels / tyres on the winter bike and I think they allow more volume in the tyre so now I've spent a couple of hours trying to fettle my SKS chromoplastics so they have enough clearance around the rear caliper (they were a tight but solid clearance with the old wheelset). After failing at the nth attempt then swearing and storming off I thought I would seek views...
So my question is this - are PDW guards better for tighter clearances than SKS? They seem to have less side coverage which might create a bit more wriggle room maybe - and stiffer so might need less faffing with curvature... anyone with any experience of both who could help?
