Go ask TMG and Multimatic's aero departments. Because wind tunnel testing is part of the homologation process now you just have to have the car wind tunnel or CFD certified to meet the aerodynamic stability targets rather than mandating specific features to make sure any car can. How achievable that will be without the existing devices isn't something any of us are qualified to answer.

As viewed from the side, the bodywork must cover the complete wheels above the axle centrelines and it must be possible to see the circumference of the complete wheels.
Wheel arches may be a non-continuous surface (holes, grooves, louvers, openings or cut-outs) if required to accomplish the aerodynamic safety stability criteria as defined by Article 3.11, provided that the visibility requirements above are respected.
