I did one similar to that, but I think it had a bit more flat space to put the tape. Note that the tape doesn't need to be very wide, the actual sensing area is very small, so even that little surface should be sufficient if you get everything aligned correctly.
Fill this space with the traction tire.
That may be a little tight but I sure could give it a try. The flywheel seems to be cut in there to make room for the power contacts. Gunrunnerjohn, how big is the reader overall? I know it has to be close to the tape to read it. There is about 4mm from the top of the motor to the upper shoulder. I may be able to put the tape on the lower inner shoulder to have a wider surface to work with if that would be a better idea and I could get the reader in between the motor housing and the upper shoulder on the flywheel.
The rim looks thick enough. Wrap the tape around it. Start the edge of the tape at the bottom of the rim. Cut off the overhang at the top of the rim. This way it will be easier to align the reader. I think you’ll be fine.
