I Wonder Why??

Your looking at it wrong.
Visualize the same wrinkle in the door. It is the same body styling line going the length of the car.
Now imagine that the rear fender has to be bulged out to cover the wide wheel stance. The buldge pushes out the crease around the wheel.
Should look normal to you now.

Design line dude. Note how it continues on the bottom too?

Many car designs do this to accentuate the strength of form. Similar to the bottom to lighten the form.

Note how FWD cars accentuate from the front wheels too and vice-versa for RWD cars.

It would take a lot of Bondo, but I could fix that wrinkle.

As others have said it continues the line. Looks good to me.

I like the wrinkle too. It continues the design theme. Without the wrinkle , the rear fender would look fat.
