I can tell you that on the Viper GTLM and GTD/3 cars, we tucked the wheel house as close to the tire as possible. Basically we ran the tire thru full bump/droop, and lock to lock, then added an inch or so to that envelope. Rules dictated where we could put "exhaust cooling", so that's where the opening and screen went, and the air vented out the side cove. We couldn't use ducting, since it was cooling air. The GTD/3 got additional venting, via the louvers in the top of the fender.
