Driver Side Wheel Well Wire Tuck

Driver Side Wheel Well Wire Tuck
Has anyone tried doing a tuck of the bundle of electrical wires that's running through the driver side wheel well to tucking it completely over the wheel well? Been searching for a DIY thread but no luck. Haven't really looked into it and where each wire goes. Hopefully someones already done it to save me some time haha Big ups to those who can help me and others who are slammed enough to hit the same bundle of wires!!
PS risky stuff hitting these wires. Buddy of mine hit a bump and smashed the bundle of wires. Something must have touched and it shorted out his ECU and possibly the fuel relay somehow. FYI for those who are cutting it close.

this thread is completely useless without a year and model....
there's a few approaches to try, i tried most of them short of one requiring you to cut all the wires and extend them or take the fender off and stretch the wires into the inner fender area.
In my '99 I ended up unplugging everything on the driver's side look, extending the windshield washer motor and turn signal wiring, and rerouting everything through the engine bay. Works great aside from the fact that it required me to delete the driver's side hood lift (unneeded since my aftermarket replacement is so strong anyways) and because I havent flattened the bundle of wires up (need to cut and reform the loom) it props the hood up on the driver's side by ~1/8".

Hahah my fault. I have a 98 ls400. I was thinking about taking the fender off and like you said, stretch it into the inner fender area. From your experience, is there enough slack to pull it up and over or do we ucf20's have to extend the lines and wires? Thanks for the input by the way

Heres what i did. From what i read alot of SC guys do this also. no need to remove fender also and took about 15 mins to do. It works great for me. Never rubs anymore.

this happened anyways. (this is after i cut the zipties holding it to the side likek in the link.)
EDIT: actually i take that back, this damage was from the ffirst time i relocated it. the 2nd time was when it was really bad, and the tire ate about 10-12 wires at once.
I'll snap a picture tonight/toms of the current configuration, gained over an inch of room.
