2011 2LT tire size question?

Stock it uses 215-50-17. My Dad has brand new 215-55-17 tires he is giving me. Are these okay to use? Now the back would still be 215-50-17. Until we can buy more. Ride will be softer with 55 but any normal driving safety issues.

The new tires will be about 26.37 tall. They may or may not rub the bottom of the spring perch in the front.

Not smart to mix sizes. You will probably get ABS and/or ESC trouble.
