I was thinking about a magnetic articulating front wheel skirt.

Four up/out rotating arms, two attached in front of the wheel and two behind. The skirt would be parallel with the body arcing out and up when the wheel turns more than an inch out.

Clamped to the spindle would be a pair of rods that bend around the front and back sides of the tire. They would have magnets on the end that would repel and push magnets on the skirt so theres no contact between the wheel and the skirt.

The magnets on the rods would be tall enough to allow for suspension movement. The lines of magnets on the skirt would be diagonal since the skirt moves up as the tire turns forward or back.

I wonder if too many expensive strong magnets would be needed or not.
