I just remembered another one that I forgot about. You could go all "Thrust SSC" and steer with a (single in this case) rear wheel mounted far behind the car.

The Thrust SSC solution solves several problems. First, it allows the front wheel wells to be covered because the front wheels are no longer steered. Second, it allows the rear wheel wells to be covered because they no longer house wheels. Third, it turns the car into a reverse trike (2F,1R) by mounting a wheel several feet behind the car. This very long wheelbase FWD rear steer car would be very unusual...but based on a proven design used on the fastest car on Earth.
