A fender assembly of a machine includes a frame and at least one tire. The fender assembly has a primary fender portion connected to the frame, and defines a first surface and a second surface. The first surface defines a gap with a first interface. The first fender portion is based on a rigid material. A secondary fender portion with an interfacial surface and tire-facing surface is contiguously connected with the primary fender portion, and extends into a gap between a second interface and the tire, while being restricted against the second interface. The secondary fender portion is based on a non-rigid material. An intermediate support assembly is connected to the tire-facing surface to support the secondary fender portion to the frame. The intermediate support assembly imparts a clearance with the tire to direct debris at the tire-facing surface, and is removable along a width and outwardly to the machine.
