No.
From what I undestand... plane wheels are free-rolling and not powered.
For example, put a car on the treadmill, and it will go nowhere, because the wheels power it and make it move.
In a plane... the wheels do not power it... they're basically just padding so the fuselage isn't sitting on the ground. So the wheels kinda don't do anything in that regard.
