You can yes, as long as the tire diameters don't vary by more than a 1/2 inch or so, as it would throw off your ABS system. Before my current setup, I ran 275/40 front and 315/35 rear and all was cool..

Stock rear tires on a 5th gen Camaro with the RS package is 275/40/20, fronts are 245/45/20. The RS has 20 inch midnight silver painted wheels too. All the non RS V6 Camaros had 18 inch wheels, and the SS models weather they were RS or not, also has 20 inch wheels with those same tires on the RS 2LT's.
