NO, this is an unacceptable swap. The 205/70 tire will be 4.34% too large in overall diameter. Your speedometer will read 57.3 at a true 60 mph. Ride, handling, performance, and braking will be adversely effected. You should not move to a 70 series tire because you will have to install size 185/70-15 to be an acceptable swap which will effect all aspects of the tire. You can go to a 65 series tire in size 195/65-15 which is a good swap. My advice it to stick with the OEM size which the engineers who designed your car have determined to be the optimum size.
