Both drivers are At Fault because backing requires utmost vigilance to see and avoid hazards. Being "out further" won't be the deciding factor, unless it can be shown one or the other drivers should have seen the other because of the positions, failed to do so, resulting in the collision.

In the motion of backing into a parking spot and another car comes and tries to pull forward into the spot next to me but turns wide and i end up tapping the drivers side fender whose fault is it?
