Tight clearances are hugely overrated imo. Just buy a bike, ride it, have fun.

My commuter has clearance for both full mudguards and 35mm tyres (just). But has 74/73, ST/HT angles, which help give quick handling.
FWIW and IMHO quick handling comes from a combination of....
Wheelbase rider weight fore-aft positioning frame angles fork length fork rake bike+rider weight
...and probably other factors to boot.
