It would make it more complicated but they could add a pneumatic arm for the attachment point and a temp sensor on/by the brakes. When the temp hits X the pneumatic arm pops out leaving a gap, if the under side is designed correctly it could actually direct air into the wheels to cool and create some extra drag.

They would then stay open for a preset time after the temp drops.
