I looked at it closely when I installed the oil cooler and as I remember there were quite a few openings but unfortunately they were all on the small side and would need to be enlarged. Probably the easiest route is through the fender liner, there should be enough clearance from the wheel if you route it carefully. You could even reduce the duct size at that point if necessary.

The main thing that I'm looking for is a metal duct outlet for the wheel hub. I don't have any equipment for welding so making this part is more or less impossible for me. The rest of it I'm sure I could hobble together from off the shelf parts.
