Yes but you shouldn't run the stock wheel size on the SS which has a 50 height, you should try to get 245/45/18 instead.

What is the significance of running at 245/45/18 instead?

Difference in suspension, 50 height in the rear has a tendency to rub on the rear strut plate. 245/45 gives you the same stock circumference that you have now for your speedometer while having the clearance in the back for when you have a backseat full of people and some stuff in the trunk.
