A 110 mm tire is 10mm wider than the stock 100mm, and 10mm is a hair over 3/8", so I'm not surprised it rubs the fender mounting bolts.
I finally put it on the bike. There is almost 1/2 inch of clearance from the top of the tire to the fender. There is about 3/4 to 7/8 clearance from the tire to the fender mounting bolts. I also removed the steel bracket from the fender.
