Assuming this car is never to be registered, anything's possible. Without proper gearing though, this combination will be as useless offroad as it is on

Anythings possible but it would be an expensive exercise, x3 if you want to register it.
It would require bigger diff/axles front and back, new driveshafts, min 6" lift with long arms and lots of gaurd cutting.
