From my reading of Hucho, drag inside the wheel well -- is still drag on the vehicle. Just like drag inside the engine bay, all air movement around, or through the engine bay and through the car, or under the car -- it all contributes to drag.
And, those patent drawings are pretty awful! They look like a 2nd year drafting student did 'em. The first drawing shows the front wheel well passing through the car!
