225/55/17 is wider and a bit bigger or smaller in circumference, it veries from manufacture ot manufacture. Ideally it should be the same since it's 55.
If it is bigger, it should be ok. Your speedometer might be off a bit maybe a mile off or so. Your going faster than what it says.
It might give you a little more torgue, and improve gas mileage. Your tansmission has to make fewer revolutions, so it dont work as hard.
If it is smaller like 225/45/17 then it would be the opposite effect.
You can check other sizes at this site and see the effects.

Tire sizing lesson 101: The first number, in this case 225 is the section width of the tire. So both tires are the same width, thats good. The second number, 50 for your old tires and 60 for the new tires, is the percentage of width that is the distance from the outside of the rim to the outside of the tire. I'll try to explain again differently. Your old tires are 225/50 that means that the distance from the edge of the rim to the edge of the tire is 50% of 225, or 112. The new tires will be 60% of 225 which is 135. The third number,16 in this case, is the size of the rim. So, look at your car with the old tires on it and decide if there is enough clearance to put a slightly larger outside diameter in the wheel well. Just make sure the new tires don't rub the spring perch on the strut as the tires will be a larger outside diameter. Good luck :)

The difference in overall tire diameter of the 225 and 215 is about 5 mm. Not enough to worry about.
first number is width in millimeters
2nd number is the profile (percentage of the width) 55% of 225 is the distance from the outside of the tire radially into the outside of the rim.
3rd number is the diameter of the hole in center of tire or the outside diameter of the wheel or rim.
So even tho the 55 is the same in each tire, if the width goes up so will the height of the tire.

Using the same wheel, should not be a problem, most common one would be rubbing the fenders. Not that big a difference in those sizes.
First number is width, second is height from ground to wheel as a fraction of first number, third is size of wheel it mounts on in inches.

Won't matter--your odometer is connected to your transmission. The circumference of the tire could be the size of a city bus, but the revolutions are geared at the tranny.--That gives you an accurate distance..

they should be ok, I would check the front steering wheels closely as there's a possibility they could rub when fully turned, the speedometer will be off very little.

if your car has small enough spacing between things, they may rub on something.....otherwise it would be fine....wont effect the speedometer....tread width/profile/rim size
the 45 will effect the speedometer but I wouldn't know how much.

Not enough difference in size to matter.
