Is it okay to run 205/60/16 as snow tires?

Looking to get some winter tires and I prefer a bit higher sidewall to get a bit more ground clearance. Will this be okay for suspension clearance issues? Any other issues other than speedo being off? Will be using stock 16" rims. car is E90 328xi.

205/55/16 (stock):
diameter: 24.88"

205/60/16:
diameter 25.69"

Difference: .807" = 3.142% off, speedo @ 60 mph will read 62 mph
