Default Rear fender modification...

I really need your guys help, mainly people that are slammed or are running a aggressive fitment in the rear.

I'm trying to lower my rear more, there already flared for the poke but i just can lower my rear any more, there's this thing that looks like a hill in my fender and its pretty much riding on my tires.

How did you guys deal with this? And yes i know smaller tires are an option but i really wanna get rid of this problem without getting smaller tires.

You mean inside the fender well? Hammer it flat, don't go too crazy or you'll start putting dings in the outer quarters.

I had to get a grinder and cut that piece out in order to get my fenders to flare. Now I have to find a way to seal it back up but I'm happy with my flares.

i wouldn't grind it, just in case a sharp piece of metal juts out and cuts into the tire. Just hammer it in. I just did it this past weekend using a metal mallet, and holy god, it gave me so much more room for tire. I stepped up from 225 which was almost touching the bump, to 255 and i still have room now.
and i don't have a pic, but just hammer it so that it follows the contour of the other sheets of metal on the fender. from the outside, nothing has changed. You'd have to really f something up to put a dent into that thick*ss panel.
