Yes - The statistics are -
215 / 205 is the width of the tyre
55 is the thickness of the tyre .
16 is the size of the rim .
Only you cannot change the tyre rim size - rest all can be done .
Of course you can substitute this size but the question should be, it is a wise decision? I will give you the facts and then you make the call. The 55 series tire will be 3.22% larger in overall diameter. You should never go over 3% difference. Your speedometer will read 58 at a true 60 mph. You car may ride slightly better but will have slightly less power. Handling will be adversely effected. A much better choice in a 60 series tire would be 205/60-16. But, my advice is to stick with the OEM size. Your decision.
