Typically yes, however, they will be slightly smaller diameter as well as narrower.

The 215 is the width of the tire in millimeters and the 60 is the aspect ratio percentage, so a 215 60-series tire is 215*0.6=129mm tall (bead to tread). A 205 60-series will be 123mm tall, reducing the diameter by 12mm, or about 2%, which will reduce the speedometer and odometer readings by the same percentage (you'll be travelling 2% slower and 2% less distance than indicated).

A 195 65-series would be a closer approximation, at only 4.5mm smaller.
