Haha that actually had me worried so I just checked. I have the same thing, no idea what its for but its about 2-3 inches away from my wheels (20x10.5 +36 rears) and that would never touch it. Took a picture but phone is being stupid so can't upload it.

I noticed that when they put my car on the lift to install the HFCs. I forgot about it until you posted these pics.

No you wont come close to that piece. I had to grind the tab that is on the inside of the fender that holds the fender to the bumper. If that makes sense.

Prolly not cause I would have to take my wheel back off and I dont plan on doing that until my new sensors come in. If you can wait a week or so but I dont think you can.

Just reach up inside the wheel well near the top but then a little back where the bumper and fender meet. There is a tab and a screw or bolt in it that hold the 2 sections together. You can't miss it if you run your hand around the edge of the inside of the well.

look where the fender / bumper meet..

where the bolt is, there is both fender and bumper. but in front of the bolt, towards the wheel, it's just fender. that's what i took off
