Wheels sticking out beyond the body work hurts your aero, and your brake cooling. Not many people realize the later.
Please explain this, as I am not following the logic. TIA.

One other compromise here is Scrub Radius. Don't forget that!
On the Areo and Brake Cooling, the air gets disrupted with the rolling tire. If the Tire/Wheel is tucked the air moves past it on the outside aiding in evacuating the hot air from the brakes.
Scrub only counts when both front tires are on the ground.
You would be surprised how often they are not.I think we should assume that atleast for the majority of the time we plan to keep the front tires on the ground.
