With the angles i don't really don't know how much clearance i'd need..

I also do like that other idea of a wheel skirt with a hinge down the center that allows the front or back half to turn outwards with the wheel and the other half to stay inline. I'd use springs to keep the skirts tight to the body and not swing outwards except when the wheel turned. I wouldnt touch the sidewall of the tire but would have a pair of push arms/rods connected to the top of the spindle and over the wheel to push on the skirt halves. Of course that hinge would be the offset from the tires vertical axis by the thickness of the tire so theres would have to be space for that arc.
