Tire hitting fender

First...this car is gorgeous. It’s worth any trouble that it will take to get it right...and this IS fixable.

Second, I would focus on making it drivable just to get it to an alignment shop. That is going answer all of your questions.

Assuming the whole car isn’t bent, the factors affecting your fender clearance are going to be wheel offset (too negative), tire height, and caster adjustment.

Before you mess with any of that, check to make sure your fender brace is adjusted all the way out. There’s a slotted hole at one end of that rod that may give you a little more clearance.

If that doesn’t do the job, pull some caster out of it. The means of adjusting that are detailed on the forums but it might be just one degree too much on one side that is causing the contact.

What are the specs on your wheels, by the way? I’m almost certain that (as others have said) you may need more offset/less backspace. The fact that it fits on the driver’s side may actually be evidence of a problem on that side...maybe you have some screwed up negative camber over there?

IIRC, your particular body style is one of the most restrictive in terms of fender clearance on that front corner. Look up @autoxcuda . He knows his stuff and has done some good work on making his car run some aggressive tires...but he had to trim that corner to make that happen. Your stock-ish front tires shouldn’t require that kind of mod but he may be able to help.
