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.
I doubt it as there is 2" difference in diameter.
Yes, you can but know that your speedometer will show 61 mph at a true 60 mph.
Maybe, but it's quite a bit wider. Check for rubbing very carefully.
yes
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.

Yes it can.
Many medium size modern cars take that size.
If they have the identical aspect ratio and wheel diameter as comparing a 215/70-15 to a 205/70-15 the 215 tire will be .56" taller.
No, it will not.
Yes, you can replace 205/70R15 tires with 215/70R15 tires as long as the new tires fit within the recommended specifications for your vehicle. The first number (205 or 215) represents the width of the tire in millimeters, so the 215 tires will be slightly wider. The second number (70) represents the aspect ratio, which is the height of the tire sidewall as a percentage of the width. The last number (15) indicates the diameter of the wheel in inches, which should remain the same for both tire sizes.
