Wheel Fairings from Aircraft Spruce

If the tapered trailing edge sat low enough it would probably even clear the body while turning and during compression
Since the outside diameter of the inner fenders on the front tires are larger than the tires,you might run into interference with the existing wheel opening on the front fenders during hard lows-peed turning.Beyond that I think you're good to go.
