Sounds like a good plan.

Here is the size comparison:
225/50 R18 vs 225/55 R18
diameter 26.9 vs 27.7
width 8.9 vs 8.9
sidewall 4.4 vs 4.9
circum 84.3 vs 87.1
revs /mile 751 vs 727
The main difference is the additional 0.8" height.
Yeah I used the tiresize calculator and that extra 0.4" in radius (0.8" in diameter) could be pushing it real close. I wasn't able to get a ruler/caliper in there but my finger was able to touch both the wheel well and tire at the same time. I think I'll be going 235/50R18 until getting a lift kit.
