New Mexico, it ain't "new" & it ain't "mexico"
Was involved in an accident last night away from home, and seems drive-able (drove 2+ miles from scene to place) except for passenger tire making contact on turning. Don't have much with me (tools) but have access to long pry bar. Was able to pry bumper away from tire (as pictured) but need to pull it away more for complete clearance on turns. REALLY like to get the BEAST home and into shop for repairs. Thoughts, and as always thanks!

Take the tire off, take the fogs out and pry it away from the wheel well.

Pipe wrench to the outer edge of the bumper and pry it away.

I had a similar situation last year where my car got a little too close to a curb, and the bumper was scraping the tire. I didn’t have a lot of tools either, but I was able to use a pry bar to create some clearance and make the drive home. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked for the short term. Just make sure you're not putting too much stress on the tire or suspension.
