I wouldn't recommend it. A few things to consider:
1. The added tension will put stress on one side of the neck. To raise the pitch from G to C, you will be increasing the tension from about 35 pounds to over 65 pounds.
2. With that level of tension on the string, the stress on the tuner will be excessive. This will lead tp premature tuner failure.
3. The added stress to the truss rod may cause issues. It's not that the rod will break, but adjusting it to compensate for the added tension will have high demands on the truss rod's threads. You can overcome some of the stress by loosening the strings before adjusting the rod, but it's going to be hard on the rod anyway. And if it's a regular compression rod, the wood under the rod's nut may well compress and that can give rise to another set of problems, including a cracked fingerboard.
No, not recommended.
