Can you replace a 205 55R16 tire with a 215 60R16 tire?

NO, this would be a very bad swap. Your speedometer would read 57 mph at a true 60 mph, and handling, ride, steering, traction, power, and mpg would be adversely effected. A 195/60-16 would be an acceptable swap.

205 55r 16 tires vs 215 55r16?

The only difference is that 215 tires are taller. The first number in the name (215) indicates the tire sidewall height, the second part (55) is the tire tread width, the third part (r) shows that the tire is a radial tire, and the fourth part (16) indicates the rim size.
