Can i change RAM timing to HIGHER ???

This question is kinda stupid, my ram is Gskill Ripjaw V bus 2666 case15-15-15-35 (1.2volt). And it runs as 2133 default maybe because my mainboard (when i turn on XMP it changes to 2666).
Anyway my question is: can i change it to cas16-18-18-35 or something higher ?? I mean i know lower timing is better for using but will it affect anything if i higher it like that (or will it even help my RAM more durable if i higher the default cas) ?? Hope you understand what i say, my english not good. THANKS !!

Higher timings allow for broader compatibility, but reduce performance. It will not affect lifespan, if that's what you mean by "durability".

yeah lifespan, thanks for answer !
