I don't know if it will damage the tires, but it seems like it probably will. If I were you, I would remove the tires just in case.

If you have alloy or aluminum wheels, then it won't rust. I used paint remover and some of it got on the tires before. They were fine, but I only had the tires for about 4-6 months.
