...just add an airdam underneath that follows the contour of the wheel well. I think those are on a lot of race cars too. The idea I mentioned would actually lower the pressure in the wheel well, lowering the air density and lowering the amount of kinetic energy added to the air in the wells by the wheels. It would also allow for even smaller grill openings and more directed cooling air.
