Correct me if I'm wrong, but awillard wasn't proposing just "tire spats" - he was asking about taking that concept and extending it up the entire forward part of the wheel arch.
If that's what you're describing, I think it will make things worse, not better.
The "tire spats" that are common in newer cars (and what I think donee is describing) shape airflow approaching the tire tread face.
No manufacturers or efficient prototypes have spats extending significantly up the forward part of the wheel arch - except to get airflow out to the edge of the tire tread.
