I had to file the back of the molding and bend back or "roll" the body edge. Now that i have my car back from the shop ill take a picture of the area in the morning.

Sorry for the delay.

To accomodate this...



I had to file the back of the molding as it wraps around the body edge and roll or bend the body lip below the molding for the tire not to rub on bumps.
