Should be no problem. The LHT handles 45mm tires w/o fenders, and
you'll likely be fine with 35mm which will leave room for fenders.
Cxbikes generally have a higher bottom bracket, but it doesn't sound
like that's needed in your case.
The Volpe's a compromise between the two, and a pretty good deal at
$900 list. If you thinking about heavy touring, with front panniers,
I'd stick with the LHT, Fuji Touring, or if you're on a budget, that
cheap and cheerful Windsor Tourist.
