I am wondering why the wheels have so much concavity. The rears are singles, by the way.

That front fender area is the first thing I noticed. The area where the front fenders squeeze air through that small canyon seems like an aerodynamic bottleneck to me.
And the area on the side of the hood is concave. When I designed my new rig, I made an extra effort not to have any concave radii, only convex radii.
But mayhaps that's just me.
I don't see what you guys are referring to as the wheel concavity. ???
I was one of the first truckers in the world to run those "super-single" or wide base tires on my first truck, way back in 1983, as shown below. We have 8 of them on the new truck, of course. No boat-tails at all, back in the early 80's.
