Default Wider fender flairs

I Recently purchased some 285/75r16 nitto trail grapplers on level 8 tracker wheels(4.5b.s) and they stick out around 1.5 inches from the stock fender flairs,and unfortunately I live in mass, so I need some wider flairs is there any that anyone has experience with that add around 1.5-2" of coverage?

Searching for unicorns.... Once you add backspacing, it gets difficult to find anything that will give you full coverage. The very unattractive Bushwhacker pocket flares will probably work. Poison Spyder was working on some extra wide flat fenders, but I don't know if they brought me to market yet.
Or you could not worry about it

Have you considered stopping by the barracks and asking them what they think? They'd likely be cool about it and tell you if they would ticket you on the street.

I live in mass. The state troopers won't bust you unless you give them a reason. I drive past one of their barracks everyday and see more than I would like. They have never said anything. The issuse is passing inspection. The tread has to be tucked under the flair. The sidewall can stick out beyond the flare.

Rugged Ridge just came out with some Hurricane Flat flares that look pretty wide might be worth looking in to
