Spacers for between wing & wheel arch?

Are there any spacers made for fitting between wing & wheel arch "eyebrow". This seems to me a better idea than fitting larger "eyebrows" (such as Terrafirma sell), or edge extenders, & could use existing holes.

The OE could then be used, keeping the colour co-ordination. Ideally the spacer could be painted to match too.

The eyebrow doesn't finish flush with the wing though does it, there is a section inside the wheel-arch which is then fixed to the inner-wing using the plastic rivets.
If the eyebrow finished flush against the wing then yes, what you suggest would be possible (although potentially pretty untidy) but unless you want to go hacking the eyebrow about you are better either fitting properly made extended eyebrows or thinking again about the wheel / tyre combination that has made you want to fit them in the first place.
