winter tire help pls

Hi I just got my 09 TSX in Oct and really happy with the purchase. My question is does it matter about the diameter diffence and will it mess anything up. I have some 215/65/16 and was wondering if they were ok to use cause its 4.452% too slow on the odometer and they say to stay within 3%.

Over a 1 inch difference in diameter. A very bad idea and the goal is to stay within 1%, not 3%

I have just purchased four 215 55 17 firestone winterforce for $420 installed at sears with one of their promos.
These were cheaper than the 225 50 17 tires and were a good alternative w/o making any other changes.
I don't have them on the car yet since they are sitting in my garage waiting for some snow to come.
