Probably not, they're about .8" taller and the issue is compounded by the tire also being about .8" wider. You will probably have some rubbing issues, most likely in front.

Yes, the 55 is a percentage of the width. The tires are 55% tall as they are wide. So, if the width goes from 235 to 255 and the percentage is the same the tire will be taller.
