Will These Winter Tires Rub?

Will These Winter Tires Rub?
My 2004 X Type has 225/45-17 standard all seasons.
I know the base tire setup was 205/55-16 for all X Types.
I have a set of virtually new snow tires, which I'm considering putting
on 5x108 winter steelies. My snows are 205/60-16.
My tire guy tells me he cannot guarantee that this setup won't rub.
This is what an online calculator tells me:
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
205/55-16 4.4in 12.4in 24.9in 78.2in 811 0.0%
205/60-16 4.8in 12.8in 25.7in 80.7in 785 3.2%
I have two options.
Risk mounting my 205/60-16 snows on new steelies at a cost of $240.(Rubbing?)
or
Sell my existing snows/steelies (5x114.3) for about $400, and purchase
a proper 205/55-16 tire/wheel setup for about $700.
Thanks in advance to any experts who can chime in with assistance!
