You don't need to take the tires off unless you're having them powdercoated. Just make sure not to get any aircraft stripper on the tires.

cleaning the wheels with tires on will just make it a little harder to do.

I think it's easier. The wheel stays place because of the tire when your sanding away...just don't get a lot of aircraft remover on the tire is all.
