The Ford Probe IV Concept did the same thing with a flexible, deforming skirt over the wheelwell opening.


Have you ever seen a slingshot drag racer spin the tires at the starting line? Admittedly they're low-pressure bias-ply tires, but they grow 3 or 4 inches in diameter before the car starts to move. The whole rear of the car raises up.

That said; go for it.
