Your speedo will be off but the width is the same so no problems there and the sidewall will be larger but shouldn't hit the fender at factory height.
Hold the tire up to the wheel and see. If you add an extra .9 inches to your current tire sidewall height that will tell you were the tire should be about.

225/55 is much rounder tire than a 225/45 usually is. and OD might be bigger than a simple math could indicate. might not fit...
