Another silly question about wheel covers

I was just sitting here thinking about some pizza pan wheel covers and after reading some posts last night it seems there may be a brake overheating issue there. Mine would have to mount to the wheel hub (dome shaped) cap in the center, probably with two bolts. Could the pans be mounted with spacers to give a small gap (1/8"-1/4") between the edge of the pan and the wheel or would this defeat the whole purpose? It seems like it would give some advantage for "smoothness" while still having a small place for airflow to relieve the heating problems. Or am I just dreaming?
