Probably could but the calculation I did said I would need to go from 3.75 to 4.11 to keep engine rpm the same. So fuel economy would go from 14 to 16 average to crap.
Local dude swapped 31s on his Mini Cooper to make a rally car. Left gearing the same and went from 30 to 18 mpg or something like that. Car looks awsome but milage sucks.
