Need Help. Rear Fender Issue
 
I have a salvage BRZ and the rear quarter panel needed to be replaced. The issue is that the new quarter panel that was put on sticks out slightly more than the other side causing the wheel fitment to be a little different on both sides. I obviously want the wheel fitment to be the same on both sides but I can't figure out the best way to fix the issue. I've thought about just pulling the fender on the opposite side to even it out. I've also thought about running a small wheel spacer on one side to have the wheel poke out just a little more to have the same fitment, but is that even safe?

Any help or recommendations is appreciated.

Are you sure the quarter panels sticks out and not the wheel sitting in?

Something else is probably wrong. Maybe subframe damage

Its just the shape of the metal that is wrong. It almost looks like someone rolled or pulled the fender

Maybe it was pulled off the donor car with too much force...
