Default Tube Fender Help?

I am seeing more and more Tube fenders on the market, finally

I am looking for a Tube fender that provides a tad more coverage than stock width... i am having a hard time finding any, there seems to be only 2 options factory width and narrow.

Local laws here say your tires must be completely covered to be street legal and yes this is my daily driver so it has to fallow the traffic laws.

Any feed back and photos of your tube fenders would be a huge help.

I dont know all the brands on the market right now. I am sure I am not alone on this.

Thanks everyone.

It really depends on the back spacing you are running. I have PSC flares with stock wheels and tires for now. They cover perfectly.

I'll have stock wheels, 35x12.5 tires with 2"
Wheel spacers (4.25 backspace)

I see you have the stock wheels and tires. Are you running any spacers?

dude....why would you want to add 2" spacers if it requires you to find special wide flares?

I am actually reducing fender size, and I need to stop rubbing. I have 17x8.5 wheels now with 35" tires 4.5"
Backspacing and I have minor rubbing.

It's a long story. Trust me my new idea works

They claim extra coverage.. Whatever that means.. The ones I have now are 2" larger than stock.. These tube fenders are much better my heart is set on them. I just need to choose the right ones
