Here's a picture of the rear wheel air deflectors on a Cruze Eco, courtesy of user 99LeCouch:
Is it just me, or could that go further towards the outside of the car? It's missing almost a 1/3 of the tire. Surely that's not the best that can be done?
Here's what it looks like from the other side on my non-Eco Cruze:
Notice the gap between the side skirt and the wheel well. |
From what I read about the tire spats, they left the spat off of that 1/3rd of the tire is because the air hits the spat and deflects around the tire, but if you extend the spat across the whole tire then air will deflect farther than necessary and you'll just add more drag to the car.
