You could put the wheel over a shelf, and if it's not possible, maybe you could make a stand. That's what I did, now I can't post a picture, but I have the trixie wheel

I took a piece of cardboard and I put it under the wheel, and then with popsicle sticks and white glue/elmer's glue/ crafts glue I secured the wheel to the cardboard making like "rails" (gluing the popsicle sticks to the cardboard and next to the dark metal part). I don't know if you understand what I mean...
That way the trixie wheel is fixed to the cardboard, and the cardboard doesn't allow the substrate to block the wheel because the substrate is under the cardboard. You can make the stand as bigger as needed.
