This would be VERY difficult as there's a frame member that sits between the fender vents and the wheel well. It'd be easier to vent the wheel well into the engine bay, then the fender vents out of the engine bay. Going direct from wheel well to fender vent would be nearly impossible.

Venting the wheel well to the engine bay would be super easy; just cut through the rear section of the metal wheel well and the plastic wheel well cover, then cover it with a screen of your choosing. Voila! But that would vent all that air under the hood, which would likely increase the hood wobbly-ness.
