The widest light-weight plastic fenders ( Planet Bike and SKS ) are 60mm wide, which just barely covers a 2.35" tire completely. There may be a wider size made by Wald. I'm assuming that your wheels are for 26" tires.

I can't comment on their durability, but you can get custom wood fenders made for about $100 from a guy in Oregon. He sells them on ebay, but he does custom orders as well.

The custom wood fenders look really nice and would work great.
I have made the coroplast fenders for my 26x3.6" wheels. They are easy to make and work well. They just look pretty bad.
