I don't see why not. The drive wheels dictate rpm's. You'll top put pretty fast with 18" rears.

It will change the geometry of the steering! You will be doing something similar to slacking out the head angle of a dirt bike. May or may not effect handling. No sure way to know without trying it.

Like stated, it shouldn't change anything but maybe the handling. The 18s will give you good acceleration.

You will of course lose some top end speed and ground clearance.
