1. An air-guiding device (24) for a motor vehicle (10), comprising:
a wheel spoiler (26) which is arrangeable in front of a wheel (16) of the motor vehicle (10) in a vehicle longitudinal direction (30) and, when in an installed position on the motor vehicle (10), protrudes downwards in a vehicle vertical direction (34) relative to an adjacent underfloor region (28) of the motor vehicle (10) and has, on a downwardly facing side(S), an air-guiding edge (36) running in a vehicle transverse direction (32) which has a straight, first length region (L1) and a non-straight, second length region (L2) which directly adjoins the straight, first length region (L1) in the vehicle transverse direction (32) when the wheel spoiler (26) is in the installed position;
wherein the straight, first length region (L1) directly adjoins the non-straight, second length region (L2) inwardly in the vehicle transverse direction (32) when the wheel spoiler (26) is in the installed position, wherein the non-straight, second length region (L2) is at least partially covered to a rear in the vehicle longitudinal direction (30) by the wheel (16) in a straight-ahead position when the wheel spoiler (26) is in the installed position, and wherein the non-straight, second length region (L2) has a plurality of elevations (38) and depressions (40) following one another alternatingly in the vehicle transverse direction (32) when the wheel spoiler (26) is in the installed position;
wherein the non-straight, second length region (L2) is configured as jagged;
wherein when the wheel spoiler (26) is in the installed position, the straight, first length region (L1) is disposed entirely offset to the wheel (16) in its straight-ahead position inwardly in the vehicle transverse direction (32);
wherein when the wheel spoiler (26) is in the installed position, a width (B2) of the wheel (16) in its straight-ahead position extending in the vehicle transverse direction (32) is covered at least predominantly to a front in the vehicle longitudinal direction (30) by the non-straight, second length region (L2).
