Default side view mirror attachment to see the rear tires?

hey just realized since doing my lift I can't see the tires in my mirrors when it's time to back up. Is there any kind of attachment I can get for the mirrors that'd make this possible? I ask because my tires stick out a bit now and seeing them would make things easier.

I just use the small round stick on mirrors and place them bottom outside corner on each mirror and they come in handy when I'm reverse parking and want to see the lines

Do you have power mirrors? What I do is just adjust them down enough to see my rear tire (passenger side) when ever I back up or parallel park and when I'm done adjust them back. It only takes a few seconds....

I use my CB antenna as my guide. I have the Cooltec LLC license plate mount. It also helps locating the end of my Jeep because my rear view mirror is filled with a 37" round piece of rubber.
