The holes you see in the ends of the Fulton Single Axle Trailer Fender, part # F008559 are used to mount the fender to your trailer.

The holes measure approximately 1/2 inch X 3/8 inch, and are spaced 3 inches apart. There is no mounting hardware included so you can use your existing hardware or possibly fabricate mounting brackets to mount the fender. This fender is designed to work with single-axle trailers that have 8 to 12 inch diameter wheels. This fender has a weight capacity of 300 lbs.

You have 12 inch rims, but extra 3/4 of an inch you measured is for the lip of the tire that does not count towards the overall diameter. The black fenders part #F008559 should work well for you, but to utilize your current mounting setup you would…
