I'm 99.9% sure you can't fit 47's and fenders on a Chev ... so that leaves you in the 42 / 1.75 tire with fenders category. We're running Hetres and V/O Snakeskin fenders (and those are technically only 50 but it's working) on a 55. I could probably scare up a few pics of the fit if you're interested
