Cheap Way to extend fenders?

Got pulled over by the police today because I'm running 33x12.5" tires and they stick out a bit past the fenders. Luckily the cop let me off with a warning but it looks like I've got to either change my tires or extend my fenders.

Anyone know of a cheap way to extend the fenders so it's legal?

Someone on here said the stock flares from a Pathfinder can be trimmed to fit

Thanks for the input Guys
Never thought of the garden liner thing. Think I might take a closer look at that

Thanks

Pics of how far they stick out?

Universal flares look ok. Bushwackers are nice. Custom fiberglass is always an option but not practical

Jeep TJ rear flares on the front of my TuRD. Free cause I had em sitting around. Line up pretty good if u do alot of work to the lower rear fender, wheel well, and pinch weld. a little seam sealer around em and they look like they could be stock. good luck finding something to match the rear if ur running a factory bed though.
