Probably not; they're too large and will cause your speedometer and odometer to read low. What size is currently on your car?

You can try this, I'm sure it's not completely accurate as all tires will vary just a bit... just for a general reference of course.

Tire size calculator

You would do best w/215/50-16's. They are almost an exact match in diameter/circumference w/the OE's. Going w/55's would also in effect reduce the final drive ratio, meaning the car will feel, and in fact be slower.
Its called Plus Zero sizing.
