I would recommend using POR-15. Cover the inside of your wheel wells with it (all four). Then put it on the parts that are rusted. This stuff will never come off unless you sand it off. Also you have to lightly sand the area before you applly. It can be ordered from WWW.por15.com

i would sand away existing rust before applying...get it down to the bare metal. if it goes all the way through, then replace a section of metal around it before it starts to spread.
