Well for starters if the fender is hitting the fresh air box but is still out past the door then your doorneeds to come out some. Did you adjust the door so the bottom edge is flush with teh rocker? Alot of times the rockers are in a bit from the door. As for the fender being out to far to bolt up it may need shims now because you might have set the mounting flange in too far. Have you looked right at the bottom of the fender to see if it is hitting the bottom edge of the A pillar bottom you installed? I have found I have to trim that section off on most installs for the fender to set right.
