Anybody considered Line-X or Arma in the wheel wells?
Just wondering if anybody has given thought to having some truck bedliner coating sprayed in the wheel wells, the back specifically. Doesn't seem like it would cost much or add much weight, maybe 10lbs total? Seems like the deadening of the rocks and road noise might be worth it.

I wont be able to hear the road over my music lol. But line-x is still plastic and you will probly hear it just as much. If you really wanted to you could use what we do for car audio "dynamat".

I don't know about the rear wheel wells, but be aware that there is wiring that routes underneath the fender liners in the front wheel wells. So I'm not sure you want to seal that area off, should you need to access the wiring one day.

I drive my car to work, I may do one track day a year for fun. I'd rather not listen to the road noise and rocks flying up inside the wheel wells the other 364 days a year.

Here is what you are looking for: 3M™ Underseal™ Rubberized Undercoating, 08883
Take off your rear wheel, mask, prep/clean, and spray this coating on as it will help in what you want to accomplish; Line-X, et al, dries too hard. The 3M product is flexible and will not fall off the inner wheel liner. You will be establishing a different layer to help dissipate/absorb the sound wave as it travels through both the rubberized coating and the wheel liner; plus this should actually adhere to the liner.

The road noise on the concrete portion with the rain grooves of the interstate here is reason enough to do this for us. There was one review of the 370Z where they mentioned that the 18" wheels were quieter than the 19" wheels. Yes, I will probably do this too as ours is not a track car—it's a daily driver. It's the easiest solution, and the best bang for the buck without having to disassemble items to do other soundproofing.
