If the available holes are insufficient, with the right adhesive, you can probably put mounting blocks around the wheelwell without damaging the paint, if you are worried about resale value.
I'm not quite sure i understand what your saying. You want me to use the wheel wells for... i'm not even sure. I want to put a skirt in place that will cover the back wheels from the bottom of the car body, to the top of the wheel well. It has to bubble out a bit to do this. That's a convex shape...

Please explain, as i'm feeling more then a little lost here.
