Default Alternative tire choices

This will probably be one of the dumbest questions that has ever been posted on this forum but I'm going to ask it anyways.

I know the stock tires on the 2017 GS are run flats. I am wondering if I can run a set of non run flat tires on the stock wheels? Continental makes the ExtremeContact DW in a 285/30ZR19 and 335/25ZR20 and I was wanting to run them on the stock wheels and have the Sport Cup 2 tires mounted on my Forgeline GA1R's that I ordered. Thanks in advance.

As long as the tires fit the wheels, it makes no difference if they are RF or not.
