Yes. Obsessing over Toe Clip Overlap has for the first time in my life caused me to obsess over Front Center. Front Center is the distance between the front axle and the BB, center to center.
I have a bike already that has 584x42 tires and fenders. The fenders clear the tires by 15mm. The Front Center is 626mm, and my toes clear the fenders by about 15mm. The 56cm Atlantis has a Front Center of 618mm, so I am confident my toes will still clear, even with fenders. They clear by a lot as pictured with fatter tires and no fenders. The 53cm Hunqapillar has a massively long Front Center, because it is has a long TT to go with upright bars. It's Front Center is 637mm, so I'm completely sure it will clear no matter what tires I put on, because it has 584mm wheels. The 55cm Appaloosa had a 628mm Front Center, which is long, but with 622x50mm tires, plus fenders, it wasn't enough. Low speed maneuvers, climbing slow, or weaving through the gates onto the bike path, I'd kick the fender with my toes from time to time. It's not the end of the world, but I had the opportunity to make that issue go away with no compromises except money.
