Obviously, you would have two different diameters on the rear, which is not good for the rear-end, but it would only be for an emergency situation.
I'm just asking if this is possible.
Anyone have the exact measurements?

Yes... and strangely enough the rear rotors are actually larger than the fronts on the SS! (14.4" in the rear vs. 14.0" in the front). The V6 cars have 12.6" rotors in the front and 12.4" rotors in the rear.
However, I believe the issue is not with clearance on the rotors, but clearance on the calipers. Front
and rear calipers on the SS are both 4 piston Brembos. Single piston both front and rear on the V6 cars if I'm not mistaken.
Best regardSS,
