Cut until you reach an area that allows for the most clearance without being seen from the out board side of the fender. Than scribe a line through the paint just outside of your cut marks. This will keep the paint from flaking/cracking past your cut marks. Than take a hammer and flatten the cut portions one at a time until they are all folded up against the inside of the fender. Doing this will make certain you get the absolute most clearance without distorting the fender. For a finishing touch if you prefer a finished look bondo over the cut portion. You can use this method on the rear or in the front. If your doing the front than don't cut the portion of the fender lip that the fender liner mounts on. If theres no fender liner than cut all the way around as you did in the rear. Works like a charm everytime. Baseball bats can work though if you are not extremely careful you will distort the fender. You won't get as much clearance by simply bending the fender material up with this method.
