That's most likely too small for you. Most guys 5'-7" and 5'-8" do well with frames sized 54 to 56cm.
It's usually safer to go towards the smaller side of the range as one can usually fine tune the fit with adjustments to the seatpost and stem. Otherwise, if the frame is too big, there would be nothing to adjust it to fit you.
