You could pratically put the wheels back after it dries to the touch..the wheels do not touch the calipers. It is recommended that you do not drive it for 24 hours but it was so hot and we drove it 4 hours after. Yes I want it to dry completely before doing the BMW. You have to be careful when you adhere the negative cut out BMW on the caliper prior to spraying to ensure that there are no gaps in between or else the white spray will somewhat bleed and you will need to retouch up. I had my touchup paint in sapphire black that I used to touch up some minor overspray because for the first one I did not press it down completely. Enjoy doing it...I am very pleased with it...got many WOW from friends asking how I did it and if it was a sticker.
