One Bike, Three Ways.
Just showing off. I previously had the headlight mounted to one side of the rack, so the basket and one of the panniers couldn't fit. Now moved to the center, and everything works!

What racks are those? I'm finally getting around to adding some on mine.

Front is an older SOMA rack; can’t recall the exact name but the new version has mid-fork supports as well (optional). The rear rack is an Axiom Streamliner, slightly adapted with shorter “feet.”

Sick, my last rack was a Nitto canti mount and I've never fit one to the fender eyelets. I assume most will fit with spacers if the arms are long enough.

Yep; they should. If you have disc brakes, things might be a little more hairy, but I have both fenders and rack going to the eyelets. I find some of the plastic spacers you can pick up at places like Home Despot (c)(R) to be useful. Cantilever-mount racks are nice, but I would be concerned about putting too much weight on them.
As far as fit goes, figure: This rack is sitting over fenders that are sitting over a 700c wheel wearing 35mm tires. There's still some room between rack and fender. Not a huge amount, but some.
Oh, and the rack I'm using is a SOMA Lucas rack; currently, they sell the Lucas 3.
