Where your bumper meets the QP (Quarter Panel), that flat area next to the trailing edge of your wheel. It has a tab that sticks out, and because your wheel @ that offset will stick out there, you most likely will rub the bumper cover there.

What I did (or rather, the guy I paid to roll my fenders) was, take a dremel, after making a clean line with a straight edge, and trim down that edge. You don't want to cut it too thin, because it would be too close to the outside of the bumper and make it flimsy / crack paint, etc.

The whole point is taking that tab off and making it have a clean line that blends to where the quarter panel comes in, and give the wheel clean travel.

I wish I could post pictures but I don't even have a camera right now. I'll explore options and if I can get a picture or 2 up I'll post them.

It's np.

I still don't have a camera though

I could just go buy some random point and shoot, but if I buy a camera, I'm thinking about a DSLR.
