Well, I had 700x42 on the back and haven't touched the mudguard and the 650Bx47 fits under it with lots of clearance. Depends on the bike's clearances as to whether fatter rubber will fit. If it's designed for it like the Kinesis I'm using it'll be fine.

That looks more like standard audax so might struggle when you try and go wide. The wheels would fit but even at lower diam, when you add 47mm rubber it might contact the stays. Can you borrow a 650Bx47mm to test fit?
