Why does this keep happening to me?

How wide is the wheel? Go a size or two down. Have the fenders rolled or cut so they don't get caught on the tires. And be careful going up driveways or making U-turns. This happens when you go up something and the suspension compresses, making the tire eat your fender.

i did the EXACT same thing the first night i got my rims, and im lowered on coilovers.
while with the wheel cranked to one side, trying to enter a parking lot slowly, the tire caught onto the fender lip plastic edge and pulled it out like that. wasnt as severe but still painful enough that i had to do a quick fix in the parking lot with the steering wheel "club" wedged between tire and fender pushing it back in.
next day, removed it, and rolled the front fenders.
