I built the inner fenders of my trike that way, partly to recover the space needed for full-lock clearance of regular inner fenders. Adding some support from the outside of the hub was helpful, so FWD is more challenging. I used fiberglass, with a seam at the largest diameter for wheel access, and integral ribs in the inner section. I think they would work OK even with slots for MacPherson struts, etc.
