Rallyd is right, they will be a tad taller. When changing tire size, what affects the speedo/odometer and all that is the tire diameter. stock is set for about 24.8inches rive or take 3%. When you change to the 215/55 from the 205/55 you'll gain about .4 inches of width and .37inches of ride height. Its a good deal but it will be a tick slower, how noticable I goodn't say. I just bought new tires for my 03 and got ride of the 195/65/15's for a set of 225/50/16 and new rims. best part was that the overall diameter between a 195/65/15 and a 225/50/16 is the same, so there was no loss, just a lot more grip!
