I have 205/55-16 on my 1998 90SET 5-door.....

No real issues. The odometer/speedometer is now about 3% lower that actual (so at a speedo indicated 60MPH, the car is actually traveling 62 MPH). The tires have not rubbed, except for the right side (passenger) rear tire will slightly scrape (more like polish) the fuel tank breather tube when the car is completely loaded (4 adults and lots of luggage).
So should be no problem. The 205/55-16 tire size gives a wider range of tire choices. I really like the addditional rim protection on potholes and train tracks. The ride is slightly softer and the handling may be slightly less crisp, but not really noticable. Your tire choice will probably have more impact on the ride and handling than the additional tire size.
