Yes you can but you're going to have a hard time finding 7" wide wheels for front or rear. Front wheels are typically 5-6 inches wide while rear wheels are typically 8-10 inches wide.

The front will take 2" backspacing, the rear will take more, probably up to 5 or 6. If you're serious about this mod I would go with the 7 or 8" wide front tires, a 10" wide front is just going to plow in anything soft and slide around on anything hard. You'll also need at least a +2 but probably more like a +4 swingarm and a mighty big rear sprocket.

There was an article in dirt wheels years back, a guy had put 28" outlaws on his 660 but used a 25" front tire and a very large custom sidewinder rear sprocket.
