here's mine... using the black rubber trim (parking lot protector) as a reference point, about 3/4" below the top edge of the rubber make a cut (metal shears) about 1/4" shy of where you plan to fold the curve of the inner arch. I'd sugest saving all the trimming until the very end after you have folded the metal into a new triangular shape at the angle you need to fit your planned tires. this way you can still have a 90* inward fold from the exterior plane for strength. then trim the inner edge to folow the tapered line from top to bottom like the original.

You will end up with some cracked paint at the fold point but that's a small sacrifice.
soft faced, wide pliers or a couple bits of wood in the plier jaws to protect the fender at the fold line is good.
