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.

Let's see if I get this right...
Tire Spats = Fender Skirts
Ranging from this:
to this:
"Tire Spats" = Wheel Splitter/Deflector
Now, what is being proposed?
We need an "Illustrated Guide to Ecomodding"
