Rolled your fenders? Add even more rear clearance

I found that when I rolled the rear fenders that I was restricted quite a bit where the fender and rear bumper come together.
I ended up with a bit of a dimple in that area due to the restriction and have seen several others the same.

Aside from the cosmetics, this is where tires will still rub when trying to max out the wheel fitment.

I found a fix that gains at least 1/4" or more.


This the area after the fix ......dimple is gone




...and here is what I adjusted.
- first you need to pull out the inner liner
Then you will see a single bolt where the bracket for the bumper clip is fastened.
Just loosen it off & pry the clip out.



This is with the bolt removed and shows the original position and how much it can move out without any modification..

I forgot to add that I also dremeled some of the end off of metal bracket.
this was too close to the tire for my liking.

Looks like this could be meaningfully incremental even without a rolled fender...

Thanks for the tip!
