225/75R16 replace with 225/65R17?

Found these. I tried 225/75R15 an wouldn't clear the frt calipers. So compared these 17's to the stock 16's. Thoughts? A tad slower speed at 65, however it will be a majority city car, very little highway use.

Are they off a compass or patriot? The spigot on a KJ is bigger than the hole in the centre of the alloy so will need machining out to fit.

A Patriot. So all should line up. I don’t need another set of useless tires lying around
