On in-line wheels, does this explain one of the reasons why the front wheel spats stick a few inches further in beyond where the tire ends? It could also be to shelter the suspension. Wheels tracking closer in the rear seems like an advantageous compromise. The wake of the body having a proper shape seems more important than an extra 4" of tire exposed in an already turbulent area of the underbody.
