Yes, because the wheels do not drive the plane, the jet engines do so they will move the plane through the air (even if the wheels are on the ground).

However you will probably encounter some parasidic drag from the wheels rolling resistance, and possibly tire/wheel bearing/ undercarriage failure from teh extra heat and or forces from the wheels having to spin at twice their normal speed.
