The tire diameter increase from 55 to 60 would be 0.9 inches, with the increase from 55 to 65 is 1.8 inches. I know it won't be a big difference, but I think it will satisfy my "off road" desires. Off road desires=towing a tiny two person camper, or my Laser sailboat, and camping.
I think you'd be fine. The 245/45/17s are 0.7" taller than the stockers and I don't rub at all. With a narrower tire, I think you'd be fine.
