Yes,the leading and trailing fairings really help for the wheel drag.
Ford found that a trailing fairing after the front tires was not necessary on it's Probe-IV.The MG EX-181,Sunraycer,and Honda Dream-2 all employed complete fore and aft fairings for their tires.GM did delete theirs' for the trans-Australian Solar Challenge so they could survive 40-mph crosswinds,a strategy which allowed them to out run storms and get to sunshine.
