I've done it, works fine, but do yourself a favor and get a 2x6 or 2x8 about 10' long to cut into 4 equal lengths to use in case you have low clearance issues.

I've done it on 16 rims...was the dolly version....
But if you are afraid of getting stuck....a couple scrap 2x4 or 2x6 pices help....use them with car ramps or jacks sometimes to get slightly higher....

I did just that, had to drive the truck back tires up on them to get the angle right.

Then removing the mini I had to stack some under the front tires so the airdam would clear
