Default Side of DR's getting sliced by inner fender

The inner lip on the rear fender is digging into the sidewall of my Mickey Thompson 275-60-15s when I hit bumps does anyone know a good way to roll the inner edge without hurting the rear fender?

There was a guy on here renting his..also on ls1gto.com.

Check around your local performance shops, sometimes they have one.

Also when you do it be careful that the fender is not cold and don't go too fast or you will crack the paint.

how would bump stop spacers help the inside of your fender from slicing into the tire?

I had the same problem when I first put my 315s on. But what i did was put my stock springs back on and now it clears everything perfect. Also i like the look better
