O well
There's two ways to do it. One is rolling the inner lip up to give you an extra 1/4" of clearance. The other way actually pulls the fender out a bit by probably an inch to clear bigger wheels and tires. I've yet to see this done really nicely.

Both of the cars pictured have flares with the original arches cut out for clearance. Both are autocrossed and need the extra clearance for 9"+ wheels and tires.
