You can but you will soon find out that you're going to rub fenders on dips and inconsistencies in the road. The fronts...well with those sizes you will need some work done to ensure no cheesed up fenders.

You will also probably blow struts. I have espillers and just blew a strut with very few miles. May or may not be the fault of a lowered vehicle, but I feel that this definetly contributed.

BTW - Espilers for sale - $150.00/OBO

Go with 245/35 in the rear, it fits an 8" wheel better than a 255. It is also the proper diameter, less chance of rubbing.
