Ferrari improves front wheel fairing

Ferrari have brought an update on their famous front wheel fairing. Having it introduced only at Silverstone, the static wheel fairing is designed to improve brake cooling. As a 'side effect' it will undoubtedly improve airflow around the wheel. Even more so now as Ferrari developed an extra addition to the fairing. To further decrease the aerodynamic drag by the rotating wheel and the hot air exit, the team designed a winglet which is added above the wheel nut. Please also note an estimation of the brake exhaust airflow, marked in bright yellow.
Won\'t these winglets cut a tyre in case of touching another car\'s tyre?
On the other side, aren\'t they extended to outside the tyre, making the car a little bit larger?
I was reading the technical regulations and it states that the complete wheel can\'t exceed between 305 and 355mm when fitted to the front of the car. I don\'t know the exact measure of the wheel itself but i doubt Bridgestone would give a thinner tyre to any team since they\'re all the same.
