I recommend checking out our single axle trailer fenders part # HP79VR for a plain fender or part # HP97FR for one with a ridged design. These have a backing plate, measure 28" long x 7-3/4" wide x 10" tall, and fit 13" to 14" diameter wheels.

Attached are review videos of each for you to check out.
