Yes you can put different tires on the rear. Handling is uncertain. Tires are tested in groups of 4.

You can do this but you'll notice some performance differences between the two tires. With the Toyos you'll see less dry traction as well as lateral handling loss due to the softer sidewalls compared to the BFGs.

Can you do it? I suppose.

Should you do it? No, your compromising handlng.

And picking a tire because you like the way it looks is iodiotic, imo.

you'll probably get oversteering a bit. it'll be okay unless you go hard into corners.
