225/55-17 are 1" taller than OEM, but the speedometer tend to show a bit high speed stock so the speed might be spot on with a taller tire.

The rear will fit without problem, I'm not sure if the front will give clearance issues under full steering lock. I think it will be ok also up front since 225mm is a relatively narrow tire. Members on the forum are running oversized 245 tires up front without problems.

If possible check with your dealer if you can test mount a wheel from a 3 Series GT (F34). 225/55-17 are OEM size for F34.
