I'm seeing extended wing endplates, not a specific appendage to prevent contact with the fully exposed Swift rear wheel.
If a fairing or extension has been pictured in one of the Swift renderings, I missed it. The latest iteration of their rear wing endplates do not extend down to meet the bodywork. Look for the Swift #53, it has the curved wing endplates that they now claim will do the "Mushroom busting". There is no specific component in their design for this purpose, although it was rendered in their initial presentation in February.
Swift did not respond to messages which point out the absence or rear wheel protection, as I believe the IRL will consider it as an imperative feature.
MY MISTAKE: it's the Swift 66 that is the latest design, not 53.
