Since the wheel well is in accelerated flow,it will be at a lower static pressure than at the forward stagnation point ahead of the radiator.That being,the air must scavenge out through any penetration in the wheel well,simply by virtue of the pressure differential.

Stiffener, perhaps. But what if the low-pressure draw of the wheel well and the spinning wheel wasn't deemed to be enough of a draw? Would they augment that draw?
