Pics Attached. New 2024 1958 Landcruiser purchased in May. Dealer added larger tires / wheels that now pull molding off front bumber, particularly drivers side when reversing & wheels turned right. Not sure how to handle - dealer thought they fixed (obviously not) then moved to FL. 3.5x12.50xR17 BF Goodrich Tires. Suggestions how to resolve...

To keep your existing tires, I see you have three options.......
Lift
Cut/re-mold the inner plastics
Wheel spacers (maybe)
I don't think there is any cheap way of solving that while maintaining the fender liners and flares, the wheel offset is way off. Those wheels look to be 0 offset or possibly even negative.
With a 35x12.5 tire installed offset on these must be perfect and still requires moving the wiring harness crashbar/protector in the rear of the wheel well when running a proper offset wheel to avoid contact with that. Recommend the ICON offset video for your setup.
Although a lift may make it slightly better it will still rub and will be just as bad with any wheel articulation (suspension compression in your case_ that puts it back at that height.
Only thing that will solve that setup is portals at $20k but you'd still rub at full compression.
Also the windshield washer tank is directly behind that along with the hoses and pump so there is no real molding/shaping that can be done to correct and any cutting will expose that, fog light and headlight to possible damage from behind from tire debris.
Smaller tires or different proper offset wheels IMO.
