Hi.
Don't cut that flange off altogether. It's part of the unibody and it's absolutely needed.
Instead, make a series of cuts 90° to the flange edge. What you want to do is make a series of tabs that you can pound flat against the inside edge of the wheel well. (Toward the centerline of the car)
That will give you the space you need and maintain the integrity of that joint.
