This would give you smooth flow across the sides (vs the massive dip inward stock). Feasible?
Toyota did this in the 80's, perhaps best seen on the W11 MR2. You'd probably have to have pretty snug tire fitment and Bonneville style wheel covers to make any difference though. My suggestion is don't bother. It's going to eat up your time and money while only returning <1mpg. If this were a land speed racer you would want to look into it.
