1963, Walter Korff ( Lockheed Aircraft ) claims "A smooth,slightly crowned disc out to the sidewall ( MOON EQUIPMENT CO. ),on each side of the wheel, provides a big improvement. Covering the wheels and suspension with an envelope type body is better; smoothly streamlining the envelope is best by far."

It's a good one for sure as wheels make a big dent in aero. From a purely practical viewpoint, just start with the easy ones.
I would never discourage you from trying this though. If you did I'd be watching with interest. It's on my list of to do's.
