Has anyone pulled 17" wheels off the ground?

I'm not a ricer or anything, just wondering if pulling a heavy *** 17" wheel is possible. I'm talking about w/ good traction, a lightened front end, HALs on 4 corners, and a decent amount of horsepower and torque. I'd just like to see my car do it w/o being on skinnies.

Yep. Did it on Nittos too. Pulled 'em both about a foot high on 1.51 60 fts. This car had suspension mods and was light.

(Different car)--->WITHOUT a lightened front end and without suspension mods ('cept LCA relocators) I've pulled the front left on Nittos. Needless to say, the track was hookin' HARD.
