No problem. It's such a minute difference, you not the cars electronics will know any different. Most likely yes. The 55 or 60 in this case is the aspect ratio.

In this case, the only difference is the aspect ratio, which means the height of the sidewall will be 55% of 215 mm instead of 60%. That's 118.25 instead of 129 mm, a difference of just over a centimeter. That doesn't mean you won't run into problems though.
