'97 900 SE Tires: Okay to go with 205/55R16?

I've got a '97 900 SE Talladega that's my daily commuter. I've worn her tires on her stock rims down to the threads. I'm looking at my tire options, but money is a bit tight at them moment.
A shop that sells used tires and has a fantastic rating on Yelp says that they've got several options if I'm willing to go to 205/55R16. They see no problem...
Other than my speedo being wrong by 3%, are there any problems that I may experience?
The savings are pretty hefty: around $500 complete for Michelin, Bridgstone, and the like. Or $250 complete for tires with 80% tread remaining.
She's got about $3,000 in repairs that I've been putting off (A/C failed, windows don't roll down, oil leaks, marginal clutch...) If I get out of this money problem, I'm thinking I may want to "upgrade" to a "newer" Viggen rather then fix her up...
