I would not think you need to adjust for wider tires as long as the fenders are wide enough. I got wider tired and didn’t change anything. The diameter isn’t changing. I do end up adjusting my and my wife’s fenders every few months just from regular banging around and the SKB stays getting slightly bent from locking up for example.
