The fenders for taillights had a flat spot where the taillight mounted. If you were simply to cut the clearance hole and mount screw holes in your fender the rim would end up about 1/8" above the fender. Could even have come new from a dealer if they installed it quick and dirty. If you want it to fit flush with the left side expect a little body work or go "hole hawg" and use a new fender.
