I'll bet you can do it

You said in your original post that you had the 360CPR encoders working with the Jag. So that indicates that you have the encoders properly mounted and aligned, which is half the battle.

Something to consider: the fewer the counts per revolution, the "staler" your sensor signal will be (more phase lag). If your wheel has enough inertia that probably won't matter. Just something to keep in mind from a control theory point-of-view.
