Just try bending it around. Mine used to hit the wheel well but I loosed the clamps, readjusted, and now it clears the wheel well with the stock bumper and nismo cai.

when i had my nismo CAI i actually left that whole plastic fender well off.. since it blocks so much damn air from getting to the filter... sounded great.

since then, i "cut" the intake, making it "short-ram", (water risk is too high with the filter that low)
