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.
