I am looking to put QS 205 V3 55H motors in 10 inch ATV rims. QS recommends 12 in rims (probably for better airflow):

However, the QS 205 fits in a 10 in rim with about 16 mm of clearance. I want to use a smaller rim and tire to maintain higher torque margin. If I go up to 12 in rim, the tires are a lot larger than I want.
I don't expect to be running the motor hard at low speeds for very long so I am thinking it could work. Has anyone done something similar? If so, did you you have any thermal or other issues? Any suggestions on things I might do to mitigate thermal concerns if I go this route?
