Like title says, is there a stripper I can safely use to remove clear coat from aluminum wheels without removing tires?

Tires are brand new Toyo's put on by PO but wheels need polished and I don't want anything that will damage tires.

Anyone have experience with a stripper that absolutely will not harm tires or am I in for some sanding? Or is there another way to remove the clear coat?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I believe this is the stuff I've always used. The cans I have are old and have a different label. I've stripped the clear from many sets of wheels, it never seemed to hurt the tires in any way.
