Default trying to find out where im rubbing rolled fenders

my tire rubs on my rolled fender over big bumps on one side
i want to figure out where its rubbing so i can do sonething about it
i was thinking i can spray somthing on the inside the rolled fender so when the tire rubs i can look under and see where it came off
what would you recomend to spray inside on the rolled fender or if you have any other ideas thanks

i'd say paint your tires or apply something wet or have someone turn your wheels and see where the tire is closest to the fender. use a grease or something so when it rubs, itll stick to your fender and youll know where its at. also check your struts make sure its not leaking even the tiniest bit

Use finger paint. They are washable and don't have to worry about it sticking.

You could also try grinding up some sidewalk chalk or really fine sawdust or even dirt and misting the fender and wheel well with water and throwing the chalk or whatever on the wet surface then drive it and see where the chalk rubs off from. Then you will know for sure where the problem is. Chalk will come off much easier than paint.
