Yes you can but since every tire company make their tire a little different so even if they are the same marked size they might still be a little different in size. Therefore your car might pull to one side because of the difference in tire size. But i could be wrong...

You might even go to 205-55's or 50's
That will up your final drive ratio, for a little better acceleration.
