The 255 part of the number is how wide the tire is. Bigger number more tread on the pavement. The 70 or middle number is how Tall the sidewall of the tire is. The higher the number the taller the tire. The 15 or last number listed is the rim size,again the larger number means a larger rim.

No, the 255/70-16 is too large and the diameter will be 1.10" too tall and your speedometer will be 2.2 mph too slow. You are going over 3% difference in size which is never advisable. You can use a 245/70 or a 245/60 but not a 255/70. Make sure all 4 tires are the same size on a 4wd vehicle.

Can you replace a 215 with a 255?
Not unless you change the aspect ratio. For instance: If you have a 215/70-15 tire and you replace it with a 255/70-15 this would be a horrible swap as the 255/70-15 would be 7.58% larger in overall diameter. It is never advisable to go over 3% difference in size. Besides your speedometer would read 55.4 at a true 60 mph. If you want to install a 255 tire you will need to install a 255/60-15 to replace a 215/70-15 which is an excellent swap.
