Well I found out what the problem was. Sandeep was closest

It turns out that the fenderlip is hitting the tire when the suspension is fully compressed.
My tires are sticking out from under the fenders a bit, and under full compression the fenderlip hits the outside of the tire.
I didn't think I'd have that much suspension travel left

Sooo, I took out the spacers, but that didn't help much, so I guess I'm gonna need to get me some wider fenders....
Anybody ever cut and 'rolled' Beetle fenders ?
I'm guessing they'd be pretty flimsy once you cut out the 'folded' section ?
