I have a set of rims and tires that came (from the factory) with 225/60/17 tires. A friend just bought new rims (and tires) for his car, and is willing to GIVE!!! me the old tires (less than 10k on them), the catch is, they are 225/55/17

Can I safely run these tires? I wasn't sure if the 55 was width? If I was going to change the tire size, could I also go with a 225/65/17?

Thanks for the help.
