Because 205/55-16 is nearly the same diameter as 215/45-17.

For these cars you want 60's on a 16" rim.
It depends on the section width. For a 205 width tire, 55 aspect ratio gives OEM tire diameter. 225 tire, 50 aspect ratio.

If you want tires nearly an inch taller than OEM (not a bad idea in the snow, nearly half an inch more ground clearance), then yeah, 205/60-16.
