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.
The 205 60R is a narrower tire than a 215 60R 15, however they will probably both fit the same size rim.
Yes, they are
Generally, no.
what tires and rims came on that car stock?
Yes, I am running a 2002 Voyager with 215 60R 15 tires at the moment.
No, there is a 3.15% difference in overall diameter. This will cause your speedometer to be off 2 mph.
No. There is 4.34% difference in the diameter which is too much. Your speedometer will be off 3 mph. 195/70-15 would be a better swap for 215/60-15 tires. It will only be 2.3% off and the speedometer will be off only 1.4 mph.
Yes, you can. If it is four wheel drive, do not shift into four on pavement or dry ground with different tire sizes.
Yes, you can
