Hmm. How long term is this for? What comes to mind is to take off the current ones and develop a spacer of some sort so that you can remount them over the spacer (Jeep Body--Spacer--Flares). Could be as simple as a cut to fit a painted piece of wood and you mount the wood to the body using the factory holes then mount the flares to the wood offsetting them slightly so you can drill into the wood using the factory holes on the flares....kind of cheesy I know, but it is a start
Or if you can work with more plastic try the same thing with plastic.
Again this would depend on how long you want it to last. I am sure people can take my idea and come up with something better. At least a better or more detailed method.

Take a front and rear fender off. Take them to a place that makes custom cut lexan or other hard plastics. Have them trace each mating surface and make a plastic spacer to the depth you want, and a mirrored set for the other side. You could probably save yourself some money by making the pattern VERY carefully on paper and roll it / NOT fold it and give it to them to scan. You'll just have to hunt around for a place that does it. I needed a part for a crane truck once and it took our office girl two days on the phone to find a place.
You'll probably have to change the clip-based mounting hardware to something with bolts that can pass through.
That's all I can think of.
OR, given the price tags of all that, if you still want plastic fenders buy some Xenons or Bushwackers.
OR get some tube fenders!! River Raider makes some, EVO makes some, and Shrockworks is working on some.

I once saw a rig manager do an on-the-spot mod to the fender flares on his Dodge one-ton. He was running 37's on it that stuck out a good couple of inches from his "big" aftermarket flares.
He took a sheet of flexible plastic, trimmed it so that it would stick out two inches from the flare (with two inches protruding into the wheel well inside the flare), and then drilled a few holes and used some small rivets. He was riveting plastic to plastic, so it's not a durable mod...but it did the job. The DOT didn't give him any more hassles about having tires protruding.

easy to cut, paintable, and it will rip off if you hit something with it just like the factory flares.
lololololol
