Default need help: circular cut on tires inside wall?

I've got 3 tires blown the way, all 3 on the right front tire. for no reason the tire is literally "cut" and ripped open in a circle around the inside wall of the tire, as if a blade is touching the inside wall while driving. I'm using either 225 or 235 tires for the 3 occasions nothing fancy. Anyone had the same happened to them?

this is happening to my brother's g35 coupe with 245/35/20 front. both fronts.
i inspected the wheel well, but everything is clean and didn't find anything that could cut into the tires..

Could be the weld that sits in the front fender, if you're low enough, you'll hit it and with enough force, it might just pop a tire. SOmeone here bent that weld flat against the top of the fender well though
