How does one launch like this and not rip the fender off or destroy the tire?

     I don't understand why you think it would bother either. My car leaves the starting line like that on very run I make and has for the last 45 years. There isn't enough speed to "flat spot" the front tires and the full suspension travel helps soften the "landing". I feel a slight "bump" in the steering wheel when the tires hit the track , but that's less than hitting a bump in the road.
"If" the front wheels rise more than eight or so inches , the landings can be a little tougher on the A arms and their bushings. "Standing " the car on the rear bumper would produce similar results to "jumping" the car four feet in the air. (bad)

I was referring to the solid contact of the rear fenders and tires. I think we might not be on the same page.
