I don't think it's normal to design a car to lift the inside tire, front or rear, completely off the ground or even to where it's just kissing the ground. Granted, anti-roll bars do exactly that, lift the tire on the side opposite to the side being compressed with the purpose of increasing lateral load transfer on that axle. That action actually decreases the traction available on that axle.

If you’re lifting an inside wheel, at one end or the other, off of the ground when cornering, you’ve missed the boat on the relationship between the front and rear roll stiffness. And maybe you don’t have enough droop travel.
Air-cooled 911s will lift the inside front tire in a corner but that’s because the car design is fundamentally crap. State of the art suspension, circa late 1950s, coupled with a fairly stupid mass distribution…
