I guess when my rear end articulates my tires grab the folded over part of the box and bend it out. Both sides are like this.

i had that, but MUCH MUCH worse. I tore mine to ****. I pounded them back in a few times then finally chopped out the inside fenderwells and pulled the bedsides. Now my tires tuck in perfectly, even at full bump
