Can you? Of course you can. Should you? No, you should not. The 65 series tire is 3.15% too large in overall diameter. It is never advisable to go over 3%. Your speedometer will read 58.1 mph at a true 60 mph. Handling, braking, ride, power, and fuel economy will be adversely effected. If you want to go to a 65 series tire then install 195/65-16 which is an excellent swap.

You can replace 215/60R16 tires with 205/65R16 tires, but it's important to consider the differences in width and aspect ratio. The 205 tire is narrower and has a taller sidewall, which may affect handling, speedometer accuracy, and overall ride quality.
