The 215/55-16 tire is 3.24% (.85") smaller in overall diameter than the 215/60-16 tire. It is never advisable to go over 3% difference. Stick with the OEM size as recommended by the manufacture of your car.
Yes, that's a reasonable change, not too different. But make SURE there is enough clearance for steering lock.
yes it should work
Lots of vehicles use this size.
Read the side of the tire.
i have a tire this size its 205/55/R16
No, a 205/65-16 is 1.18" too big in diameter. Your speedometer will read 57.3 at 60 mph. The vehicle will not handle or ride as it should.
235/55 r16
205/55 R16
205/55/r16
The tire? No way. The 16" rim will require a 16" inside diameter tire. The rim could possibly be swapped provided the bolt patterns are exactly the same.
Sidewall height. 205 = width of the tire, 55 = percent of tire that is sidewall, R16 = rim size. Therefore, if you switch a tire to 205 60 R16, you will have a larger sidewall. Larger sidewalls can cause more flex, degrading the vehicles cornering capability.
