If you're stock tire is the 205/60-16, a 225/55/16 tire will register 60.14mph on the speedometer when going 60mph. You'll be fine.

If you're stock tire is the 205/60-16, a 225/60/16 tire will register 62.21mph on the speedometer when going 60mph. That is a difference of 3.55%, which is over the 3% threshold generally considered OK in terms of speedometer accuracy.

In terms of rubbing, you're fine as long as you run a stock suspension.
