An instructive place to observe wheelwell turbulence (on other vehicles) is on the Interstate in a driving rain. Water circulating in the wheelwell is thrown outward much more than the air.
Trucks tend to have deepset fenders and some throw water 2-3ft outward (and onto your windshield).
Arguably, a tire on a rim wider than the contact patch has a better profile that on a rim that is narrower.
