Using either front pair or rear pair of new fender's mounting holes, whichever allows preferred tire clearance when oriented to tire curvature, there's hopefully sufficient fender metal to drill two new properly located mounting holes (or elongate existing holes) to achieve matching curvature of fender to tire.

Good Luck!
