You need to look beyond bicycles.
Maybe at trials bikes?

Weirdly... those might be way too large for you.

Ask Retrovelo where they got their mudguard from? I used to have a Retrovelo bike with 26 2.35 tyres, their mudguard have massive clearance.

@Bad_Science
I'm hoping to find mudguards to cover Schwalbe balloon tyres, I'm converting an old MTB into a relaxed beach-cruiser-ish thing.
Big Apples come in 26 x 2, 26 x 2.15 and 26 x 2.35
Fat Franks come in 26 x 2.35
Is there anything available which will comfortably cover a 2.35 width?
Currently looking at Velo-Orange, Gilles Bertoud style Stainless, but some of the flat wooden or metal ones look ok too.
Ideally I'd like to go for the widest tyres, but if that means I won't be able to fit them inside mudguards, I'll have to be a bit practical.
