I glued a piece of bumper material froma salvage bumper to this flange to make it wider (like 1/2 inch) and the put the screw thru it into the fender (use a screwplate instead of going directly into the fender sheet metal ...stronger this way)...the result is much stronger than the thim bumper flange only. Pictures are impossible without dissassembling the front bumper...sorry not planning to do that soon. (Note I also cut away some of my fender liner above the factory fender bumper plastic thingy after removing the thingy...pop riveted in a smooth piece (no bulge down) from a garbage fender liner to fill the hole).
If you have too wide a wheel/tire or an offset that is not inward enuf none of this may solve your rubbing. My wheels are 18X7.5 with a 42MM offset.
