They will work, however some vehicles make experience a slight rub at full turns because the 205 series is a bit wider.
Yes, though handling may be adversely affected. Generally this type of change in tire sizing is only done when switching over to snow tires for the winter season.

NO, the rim size is different.
It will cost about $700 to $900 (depending on brand) for four tires including installation. The size for the 20 inch rims on a 2008 Sequoia Limited 4wd is 275/55R-20. I bought Cooper Discoverer H/T.
You can but your speedometer will be off. The 205/50-16 has a diameter of 24.1 " and the 205/55-16 has a diameter of 24.9". That is a difference of .8". I suggest you stick with the OEM size. Click the link to see what effect different sizes will have.
205 55r 16
The recommended tire size for a 2005-2008 Volvo S40 varies depending on its application. Most drivers prefer 205/55r/16 for their comfort ride ability and tread life.
The only difference is that 215 tires are taller. The first number in the name (215) indicates the tire sidewall height, the second part (55) is the tire tread width, the third part (r) shows that the tire is a radial tire, and the fourth part (16) indicates the rim size.

Of course you can.
You can, 55 = the width of the tread
Yes you can as long as the rim diameter is the same. You left off the last number on your size. The sidewall will be taller on the 65 versus the 55 and this will affect the overall diameter of the tire so your speedometer may/will be off depending on the year of your car. The 65 will make less revolutions per mile than the 55.
