Having driven a few Type II transporters at high speed (back in the 20th Century) it looks like pushing the front wheels forward is more effective than adding weight and explosives. IIRC they shear off down and under the passenger compartment.

The open wheelwell with internal duct looks odd, but might be aerodynamically efficacious.
