You will see most cars on the road have sprays emitting from the front and rear wheel wells (not very efficient). Also take a look at how rain flows from the rear of the cars.
A functional diffuser will create a substantial rooster tail and should completely eliminate rain escaping from the rear wheel wells. My diffuser creates such a rooster tail that most cars cannot drive behind me in the rain
I created it out of aluminum flashing, aluminum plate, fiberglass and lots of pop rivets.
