Yep sure can. I'm lowered 1.4" in the back and am running over 28". You can actually fit over 29" back there.

I like it. I am going to run a 12 inch wide tire on a 10 inch wide wheel in the rear. Will a 10 inch tire on a 9 inch wide wheel in the front look ok? Or should I run an 8 inch wheel?

I've got the 275 on 9" wheel up front and it doesn't feel any different than when I had the 255 on 8.5" wheel. It looks fine to me
