I think you are making it up.

Even if the top were tucked in as you say, what about the bottom?

Surely as you say the 'black thingy' is to meet design rules, then the bottom of the tyre will still protrude as much as it ever did.

I think you have a closed mind on this Raptor and are unwilling to look at credible alternatives such as wind deflection.

If what you profess, that the 'black thingy' is needed to meet Australian design rules, then those AUs with 17 inch or larger wheels must be defective. No?

Except for the ones with stuffed suspension.
