225 55R 17 on 5.5Gen?

I can purchase a gently used set of 4 Dunlop tires with the size 225 55R17 for $100. Will they fit on my stock ride height 5.5 Gen? I also have the stock 17's. Will my speedometer be off a little?
Thanx

your speedo will read slow

stock size is 225 50 17 so those tires are gonna be 22.5mm too tall (11.25mm closer to fender) which is about 7/16"
