Er... not quite.... The stock tire size on a 900 is 195/60-15, which has a circumference of about 76.07", whereas a 205/55-15 has a circumference of about 75.01" - the 205/55 is actually smaller in circumference by almost an inch. A 205/50-15 tire would throw you off by over 3.5" and your speedo (and odometer!) off by almost 5% - IMHO not advisable.
A 205/55 tire on a 15x6" rim will net you some rubbing, but only under maximum compression in the rear with lowered suspension, and that's not likely to happen all that often. You should be completely safe in this *unless* you haul big loads around...
