Facial Repair Help
Hello everyone, I am new to the dodge forum and I come asking for some help with my '08 V6 Dakota. A few months back I bumped the back of someones car which resulted in the front right side of my fender being pushed in slightly. For the longest time I didnt bother with this because I had other expenses but now I have brand new tires that are rubbing the inside of the right side of the fender. I was wondering if there is anyone here that can inform me how to pull the fender back out slightly so that the tire doesn't rub the fender. I have to pictures included to better show what I am trying to describe.

can you post a smaller pic lol\
still i cant see where it would be rubbing on the fender looks to me that your cover is pushed in is this where its rubbing? if thats the case. judging from the scratch it was a light impact on the corner. i would start by loosinig off the the three bolts in side the wheel well directly behind the bumper. theyll have a torx head. see if you can pull the bumper back into place and tighten down the bolts. these three bolts are holding your inner fender/splash guard to your plastic absorber/foglight housing and bumper cover so chances are something has shifted. nothing a little bit of tweeking shouldnt fix
but seriously some larger pics and different angle would help

Got two more pics, first shows exactly where the tire hits the fender and then the second shows the inside wall.
