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.

I would try to roll your fenders and flare it out just a little bit. The liner should be ok with the rolled fenders. You will not be able to use the tabs that go on the inner lip of the fender, but the liner will hold it's shape.

That sucks. I know because it happened to me, too. Mine looked much worse than that. I took it to Dent Pro and they said they wouldn't do paintless dent removal, only body and paint work. Either Bondo and paint or a new fender and paint. I wasn't really interested in paying a bucketful of money just to risk a shop screwing up the job and mismatching the paint. I also figured if I had to get a new fender anyway, I wasn't risking anything by trying to fix it myself.
So I got a block of plywood and wrapped it in a cotton sheet to prevent scratching, and used that and a hammer to re-shape the fender lip. I placed one side of the block against the metal and hit the other side of the block with the hammer. I had a little practice from an earlier job rolling the front fenders of an EF Civic.
It's not perfect, but it does look a lot better now.
