The wire wheel didn’t throw you guys one bit; well, some of you. starman got it right (the exact year didn’t apply in this case), beating hank with the same guess by a bit.
Lets try that again, a fender with a crease in it. But this time without a wheel to help or distract.

Nissan Hardbody pickup. Somewhere between 1986 and 1997.
Just to keep things moving along, I’ll make an exception and do what I usually don’t do, and say that’s not it.
I still call foul. Those wires could not have been stock! ;)
Lexus SC300/400
I was coming in here to make this very call.
I have NO clue, but according to Wikipedia, it’s no 86-97 Nissan Hardbody trucks as their wheel wells are not that round, squarish with rounded corners is more how they are.
Outside of that deduction, I STILL have no clue.
My first guess is a 1994 Chrysler LHS but that isn’t quite right.
Second guess is a 1995 Kia Sephia.
Nissan 240SX, 91-94, driver’s quarter panel. Yeah, the wheel might have gave it away, or narrowed it down some. They do have a cult following (drifters) but I’ve never been a fan. It was more of a chick’s car when new.
+1. You nailed it.
I agree with Mike, except to say it could be any year S13 240SX, which is 89-94. 94 is convertible only, and 89-90 had a different fascia, but this rear quarter is the same.
I’ve had one for 5 years and counting, same color even. Mine no longer has the stock engine. It was replaced with an SR20DET, but it is not a drift car as mentioned by Mike. I picked up because it is light, RWD, not a convertible, and has a decent aftermarket.
Jensen Interceptor, can’t really say the year. That’s my guess.
1989-1994 Nissan 240SX
Yes, Nissan S13. Cheapest car youd could/can buy with a real sports car feel. Light, great feedback form the suspension and steering, good balance, rwd, low roofline with very low seating position (butt-on-the-ground-feel) and relatively wide. Cheap and simple to repair, with endless affordable modifications available. Compared to the Miata the S13 and S14 feel like a real car, not a go-kart.
Lexus SC
It isn’t a Jenson, or an SC, because those creases aren’t embossed like the one in the picture. The Sephia’s crease is definitely too big. The 240SX could be it. It’s embossed, and it’s the right distance from the wheel arch…only the picture up top seems to be much more subtle than the Nissan’s so I’m not 100% sure.
