Okay, so 3/4ths the tire height minus the ground clearance, over 1/2 the tire height, I guess. Thanks.
Except the text is talking about the wheel well radius, not the tire radius called out in the illustration. According to this a close fitting cycle fender would have more drag than a looser fitting one?
A tight-fitting Beemer-style lip would isolate the wheelwell more than an open 4x4 wheelwell — that's different than the cavity volume.
