Hello I am doing a cfd analysis trying to improve the aerodynamics in a large truck. When creating the fluid domain the wheels should be in contact with the ground or not? Thank you

Not only should the wheels touch the ground, they should actually pass through the ground like 30mm-50mm to account for the deformation of the tire.
