^, Any measuring tool will work, make sure you use a similar points to get them to match. Once you have the fender measured up, mask it off with tape and slowly cut. Be patient, the metal is somewhat thick, so it will take some time. Once the heavy material is removed, go back and use a flat file to clean things up. Clean up the bare metal and use touch up paint to finish.
I don't have much experience with pulling, but would rather have a professional do it. Metal starts to stretch and thin, depending on how much of a pull is attempted, the metal may split. I would start with just a cut first and work from there.

Camber is the way a tire sits vertically. Posted above is negative camber.
(top of the tire leaning in) The trend is to add negative camber to clear
the top of the tire from hitting the wheel well. The down side is the more
camber you add the worse it will eat the inside tread of the tire.

Forgot to mention my tire specs. I'm running 245/35/19 for the fronts and 275/30/19 for the rears. Next time i'll be getting something smaller at the front to stop the rubbing though. Guard mod wise, the fronts have just a roll. The rears started with just a pump with more camber but now i'm running a touch less camber but with a slight flair now.

The slant is called camber. The rears are mostly from natural camber which is caused from lowering your car and the fronts are maxed out stock adjustments.

Just a question about where i could find wheels that are 18" or 19" with a width of atleast 9". Seems like no matter where i go unless its an expensive wheel that is over 700$ per wheel. Or is it that its just not offered for the cheapie wheels lol? A link too a seller or something of the sort, thanks .

^, the cheaper wheels are not going to have nearly the same variety of the more expensive ones. The majority of the cheaper wheels will come in a maximum width of about 9.5" with limited offsets. If you want an aggressive fitment without the use of spacers you would most likely have to go with the high end companies. High end companies offer a variety of offsets with designs based on several different disk clearances.
