A wheel casing including a body portion configured to be positioned along an inboard sidewall of a tire having an axis of rotation and at least a front strake positionable over tread of the tire. The front strake having a first edge adjacent the body portion and extending outwardly to a second edge of the front strake that terminates at or inboard of an outboard side of the tire, the front strake defining a lower edge and an upper edge, the lower edge and the upper edge both configured to be positioned forward of the axis of rotation, and tread of the tire positioned rearward of the upper edge is uncovered by the wheel casing.

A vehicle function arrangement for a vehicle includes a fender frame and a utility unit. The fender frame is adapted for attaching to a vehicle wheel position of the vehicle, wherein the fender frame has a sideward extension surface arranged for outwardly extending from the vehicle wheel frame. The utility unit is provided at the sideward extension surface of the fender frame for creating an additional utility space for the vehicle. In one embodiment, the vehicle function arrangement is installed to the vehicle wheel frame by fastening the fender frame of the vehicle function arrangement to the vehicle wheel frame.

A mud flap assembly includes a mud flap with a mounting surface and an exposed surface, where the exposed surface is on an opposite side of the mud flap from the mounting surface. A foam tape is adhesively mounted to the mounting surface and a spring clip contacts the exposed surface of the mud flap when the mud flap is mounted to a vehicle so as to compress the foam tape.

A wheel casing for a vehicle having a wheel assembly including a wheel and a tire. The wheel casing includes a body portion positionable adjacent an inboard surface of the tire, and a brake cooling duct defining an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening. The air outlet opening is in fluid communication with a brake system component and the air inlet opening is positionable inboard of the body portion when the body portion is positioned adjacent the inboard surface of the tire, thereby providing cooling air flow through the brake cooling duct to the brake system component when the vehicle is in forward motion. The wheel casing further includes a suspension arm undercover extending inboard of the body portion and configured to protect predetermined components of the vehicle.

An aerodynamic mud flap includes a body having a first lateral side, an opposite second lateral side, an upper end, an opposite lower end, a front face, and an opposite rear face. The body extends in a horizontal, vertical, and transverse directions. The body has a generally planar upper portion extending vertically from the upper end to a horizontal transition line, and an arcuate lower portion extending vertically from the transition line to the lower end. The lower portion is curved along the vertical direction such that the lower end of the body is offset from the upper end in the transverse direction and is disposed rearward of the upper end. A plurality of octagonal openings in the body extend from the front face to the rear face to allow for air flow through the mud flap from the front side to the rear side.

A vehicle body structure for suspension mounting includes a cross-sectional structure and a connecting structure of a vehicle body on which a rear suspension is mounted that exhibits vehicle body strength with a reduced number of components. A mounting panel is provided on a wheel housing panel and has a plurality of mounting holes through which a top portion of a suspension extends so as to be mounted on the mounting panel. A reinforcing unit is provided in the mounting panel and has a shape of a ring surrounding the mounting holes.
