Mudguard size advice

Hi all,
My first post so here goes.
I've recently started commuting to work by bike (children and hrs at the gym don't work) and I'm running a 58cm kona dew deluxe which has 700 x 37 tyres.
As I live up in Aberdeen and the shitty weather will be with us shortly I'm looking to fit a set of sks full commuter mudguards but I'm a bit confused as to what size I need. Some sites say the P45's will fit up to a 37 tyre while other sites say I'll need the P50's. Should I try fitting mudguards which offer the tightest fit or go for ones with a bit more room to manoeuvre?
Anyone had any experience fitting mudguards on a kona dew?
As a relative novice any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich.

The commuting mudguards are total shite IME. You'd be much better off with Chromoplastic mudguards. They're more of a hassle to fit, but they're way better. I went through three sets of the Commuter ones in about four/five months! They kept breaking. I have no idea why it took me so long to buy Chromoplastic ones.0
