The answer to this is normally yes, as long as you can get a finger between any part of the tyre and whatever’s closest to it to allow for growth at speed.
Whether it’s a good idea or not is another matter. The bike and tyre manufacturers do a lot of testing, using very experienced riders, to find the best fitment for that bike.
The only change I have found to be useful is to fit a 190/55 to bikes that come with a 190/50 as standard. This raises the back of the bike slightly and gives a bigger footprint at full lean. Makes the bike feel a bit sharper generally. Can make the bike a bit less stable so not recommended on bikes without a steering damper. It generally has the same effect as going down to a 180/55 but without the reduction in width.
