that bend actually helps strengthen the fnder, cutting it will weaken it and make it warp quicker, especially if you rub it again. rolling it is a better idea, but IMO leaving it is best... get thinner tires, like id they are 235 get 225

1nonly.... do you know for a fact that you're rubbing on the quarter panel lip or could it be the bumper tab, towardes the rear of the wheel well? Cuz that is the usual place of rubbing, and you can shave that tab down and relocate the screw farther back in the tab.... for most ppl this is the prob and takes care of it real easy!

well i took the time yesterday and cut the fender lip out-the 3 tabs on the top..still left one on the bottom of the fender if i want to place half a fender liner for later...I just zizwheeled it off,grinded it smooth with an angle grinder,and went back over it with a paint stick and 320 to smooth it out.smooth to the touch=no tire gashing.
It solved my problem.i only rub it now if my tire is turned and hit a bump but thats obvious.

turned out pretty nice,i made a few slips with the zizwheel but cant notice unless you look under.but its gonna be repainted soon again anyways.
