I have alway thought the reason for adjusting the fenders curve was to match the tire and get the fender line one wants. If your fender doesn't match your tire radius they way you want it to, you have to adjust the fender or live with the miss-match. For me that is a separate issue from bridge placement and spacers (unless of course the bridge blocks where the fender needs to go to get the line I want).
