225/55/17 tires; Will they fit?

I bought a 2010 TC last year and spent the summer heavily modifying the interior into the ultimate hippie van. This spring, it's time for the outside to get it's treatment.

I purchased four 17" Ford Focus rims from a seller on eBay for $300 with the TPMS still attached. Now it's time to shop for tires. I've read every article posted on here about sizes and saw one that mentioned 225/50/17 tires. It seems like 225/55/17 in the load range needed are much more plentiful. Will the slight extra size aspect cause problems? I'd hate to spend the money just to find out that they rub on something.

Excellent site, by the way. Lots of great info to be had.

The diameter difference is 1.4 inches and the tire is .4 inches wider .  I think it would rub on some of the wheel travel.  The wheel offset would have to be changed also.

A better choice would be a 225-50-17 the Diameter difference would be .4 inches.
