forum approved 50mm+ guards for disc brake bike?

I've ordered some 53mm bluemels but now reading they are a nightmare with disc brakes - still have the opportunity to cancel the order for something else.

Where are you reading that? In my experience modern SKS guards come with spacers which should be enough to get you clearance for discs, but you never know I guess.

I remember fitting them to my gfs hybrid and involved quite a lot of bending/swearing which I'm sure ended up weakening the fittings (most have snapped). I did not consider spacing them out as I'm a dunderhead, that seems like the best solution . Tyres are 45mm so hoping 53mm should be enough.
