Didn't see this answered so I figured I would chime in...
It is POSSIBLE to do it, BUT it will violate scrub and put you and the rest of us at risk if you have a blow out. Essentially if the tire goes flat, the control arms will be lower than the rim when there is no air in the tire so you would have no control over the vehicle in the event of a blowout since it would be skidding on the control arms. It is a safety issue.
