It doesn't look like a wheel well did that, more like bad toe alignment.

I hope you're changing the tires too. I would not be driving around with the wires showing that's a potential blow out.

I know how hard it is to find a good alignment shop here in SD that can do our SC's, so if you don't have a good shop you can bring it to, contact chargerfan. He can do it for you.
