I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey and the wheels on it are 225/60/16. I was wondering if 225/60/17 inch rims will fit my odyssey?

Sorry, you are confusing tire sizes and wheel sizes. Wheels don't have an aspect ratio, but do have an offset measurement, and it's critical.

One warning: If you change the wheel diameter without dropping the aspect ratio, you will be increasing the OD of the tire, throwing off your speed sensor and everything that it feeds.

I once ran 225/55R17 tires on Acura TSX 17x7 wheels with 55mm positive offset. Stock offset is 50mm. That was not much of a game-changer in terms of handling.

Later, I ran 235/50R18 Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires on 18x7 wheels with 41mm positive offset. The vehicle just seemed a little less stable as that 9mm offset change meant a noticeable change in scrub radius. I had also lowered the van just a tad by use of H&R Sport Springs. The cornering was tremendously improved, but ride quality was not as good. Also, it was a larger diameter setup, and it did have a noticeable effect on acceleration and MPG

Knowing what I know now, I should have gone with a set of old school Acura TL 17x8 wheels (45mm offset) with 245/50R17 tires. Only 5mm offset change, wider footprint, same rolling diameter, etc.
