There a little expensive so I'm also open to other suggestions too.

Thanks in advance

40-584 means your tyres are 40mm.

Your suggested mudguards are 45mm. So, they will fit.

If you have the space between the top of tyre and bottom of fork and seatstay bridge, it's worth going for 50mm+ mudguards. This gives you better coverage and flexibility if you wanted to run fatter tyres i.e. off road ones.

The SKS Chromoplastics are generally the best common mudguards, buy you can usually saves few quid by buying SKS Bluemels. They're just as good.
