There are two solutions that I can think of.
1) Use slimmer tires
2) Install wider fenders
Option #1 may not be feasible for the autox crowd due to modification restrictions. However, since autox doesn't usually exceed 40mph, the extra turbulence created is probably negligible.

I think CSG_Mike brought that up in one of his posts. I think it would be interesting to see how much an aggressive wheel and tire package affects the aero of this car. I'd also be interested in finding out the balance between maximum tire grip while retaining (or even improving) the car's aerodynamic qualities.
