My wife's rack was installed by the LBS very low, like the OP's but I can adjust them to be much higher off the tire in case she wants fenders. Perhaps the OP should have a look at the installation and see if there is a way to increase the height, that would allow many more fender options.

Pics of the two connections of the rack to the bike (the axle and the connection to the seatstays or seatpost) would help.
