Default Front right tire rubs the top part of the wheel well

Whenever I go up the driveway turning right in my EG, the front right tire will get cut / rub on the sharp piece of metal that is located at the top of the wheel well. I'm dropped on coilovers with 15" Slipstreams on 205/50/15. Car is fender rolled and definitely clears the fenders. How do you guys go slammed without rubbing/cutting your tires on this knife-like metal piece?

Note: Fender splash shields have been removed.

I don't go slammed. I think it's just plain stupid. Plus I don't have any of these self-made issues like tires getting cut up and/or rubbing.

Cut it in many places. Flatten it.

Cut slits in it and pound it flat. Or raise the car.

So much rust proofing required after flattening it. Why no fender liners? Such a bad idea. So many bad ideas.....
