Craking fender well



The other side is fine, I been running these wheels/tires for about 5 months. I'm not sure why it is cracking but it keeps getting worse, I don't see it rubbing even with the suspension all the way dropped and I normally keep it on the 1.

They are 275/35/20's.

Is there an easy way to fix this??

This is the front passenger side btw.

Short of vandalism, it's almost certainly due to impact with the tire, at speed or otherwise. Is the suspension sagging when at rest? If the tires are turned in/out when parked and the suspension gives up, it will crack the fender precisely in this way.
