Fill the arches

Got myself a spare set of wheels / tyres which I will run on the 90 we use to launch / recover the boat. Thet are kumho kl71 mud tyres on boost alloys, size 245 x 75x 16.

For looks only, they don't fill the arches and are not flush, I have been told to fit spacers or change rims to a modular in order to fill the arches.

Any opinions / alternatives would be appreciated, cheapest option the best as they will be in salt water and are not likely to last too long in this environment.
