Yes, it is possible but has its caveats and drawbacks. I do it fairly regularly at my bike coop but we have a large amount of spare axles and random parts/cones so I can fix and fudge together a working hollow axle that works with customer's wheel but it takes about a hour or sometimes even more with all the measuring and sifting though the various boxes for proper fitting parts. And then there is no guarantee that it will work fine.

Easiest solution, get a hitch mount rack and you won't even need to worry about removing the wheels anymore.
