It wouldn't be easy to design and position VGs to blanket the wheel well.

Maybe it'd work better if I was going as fast as a jet instead of 55?
On aircraft, VGs are used to keep the airflow on the wing / fuselage.
In front of a wheel arch ... there's nothing much to keep the air onto.


Did you decide on the truck's color to match the tape ?
That's dedication
