Snow tire size help

I had a C 240 wagon for 6 months and bought snow tires and rims that were never used. The size was 205/55-16. I have since dumped the car and purchased a 2005 E320 without the sports package. The new car has a tire size of 225/55-16. Will I still be able to use the 205/55-16 on the E320? Will it be safe to drive with smaller tires? I really do not want the hassle of selling and shipping these tires. Thanks for any help.

depends on the weather
205/55-16 is too small for your E-Class and does not have enough load capacity
