I like the way my tire sits,but today once driving it when i hit bumps i hear scrapping My guess is its the lip/tabs in the fender.

I know its suppose to be rolled but can i just cut it off instead?
mayb even cut the quarter panel lip..
best pics i can get..

you can cut it, but be sure to smooth ir out as much as possible. You dont the sharp edges to cut your tires. Or you could just add some negative camber to it.

ya i was thinking about it being sharp afterward..ill use my zizwheel and then angle grinder to smooth it down. I just didnt know if anyone just cut it off instead of rolled it back.

Better way is to just roll them imho.

+1! thats what i did with my fenders. I own a fender roller, so it was easy. You just have to be careful when rolling them. Use a heat gun and heat up the paint before and during rolling. This is to prevent the paint from cracking or from the metal deforming.
