P255/55R16 - Snowflake Rims?

[Iszi]

Will a P225/55R16 be okay on stock Snowflakes? Using a tire calculator I found online, the only difference that I can tell between that and what I have (P225/60R16) is a 1" height difference and +3.6% variance on the speedo.

So, for functional purposes, I would guess these should be okay? I figure I'll probably have to be a little more careful driving the car, since it's already dropped 1.5" in the suspension, but are there any other issues to be concerned of?

I'm only asking because I've been offered a set of 4 for free, and mine are starting to show need for replacement. Input is appreciated.

Thanks.

Thats what is on the Wifes Mark, looks beefier and rides/handles better too. Go for it.

Oops, meant 225... not 255. Only difference is that middle number, the aspect ratio.

These are my 255/50/17

A 225/55/16 would probably be OK on a lowered car.. I run stock ride height with 255/50/16s, which are .6" smaller in diameter, they look too small for the car in my view...
