Default just joined the @#$%*&! right fender club

it took a year but my right front tire hit my fender and pulled it out

It looks exactly like this (pics taken from XclusiveAutosports' post):






i'm pretty obsessive about my car and want to repair it asap. looking for your recommendations and suggestions.

i'm planning on raising the car a bit to prevent this from happening again. for reference: 18x8 +50mm offset wheels in the front, 225/40/18 tires

thanks!

2.8* camber is your friend... i have 245s up front with no problem, but i rolled it to be safe. no rubbing even before rolling.

when you guys roll your fenders, how do you keep the liner in place?

roll your fenders rich. i think part of the liner is cut when you roll the fenders. you can get it semi flared too. if you want to keep it at that height, roll it and put in a little more camber.

mine were rubbing on the driver side from being dumped. raised it a little and had the fenders rolled and mildly flared. got rid of the rub completely.

my liner was there but it looks like it was too chewed up to protect the edge.
