Default rear quarter rubbing my tire.

Ok, long sotry short, got in a wreck and my rear quarter on the passenger side is jacked up. this happened with snow tires on which were pretty skinny.

summers coming up, i put my rims on which have nitto neogens. not sure the side but there quite a bit wider.

anyways the peice of metal from the rear quarter kinda came untucked and now is scraping the tire.

i try pounding it back up into the wheel well but no luck.

this needs to be a quick fix because i just dont have the money to have the bodywork done and i need this to drive daily. and it doesnt matter how much more damage it does cause the quarter is gone anyways.

Thanks

x2 on raising your car. The noob got you lol. I mean unless you're willing to do body work or raise your car, I'd say you either need to just live with it or put your snow tires back on till you can fix it.
