About your boattails, I am not sure, but I understand that this below is the them shape:



He is correct?

Question, if I putt the boattail whitout the side skirt, I can find any improvements?
My rear wheel boattail has 2/3 of the taper on one side and 1/3 of the taper on the other side. Since your car doesn't have a boattail on the back of it, you could use a symmetrical rear wheel boattail. The wheel boattail will work with or without a side skirt since your rear wheel will be always be producing a eddy behind it unless you put a boattail there.
