You can but shouldn't need to. 99% of tyres are tubeless nowadays.

I put a tube in a tyre of mine after it had an accident in my garage, it involved a nail through the sidewall - doh but the tube cured it

The trouble you can get into, without even leaving the garage.

Do'h, springs to mind.

I know a few folk who picked up cheap alloys but the beads and inside edges were too corroded to get a seal. Just put tubes in. Did for a second set of wheels.
