When looking at tire size In metric tires you have to look at the aspect ratio , if you have a 215/75/r r15 the 215 is the section with (the width of the tread in mm ), the 75 is the sidewall height ( the sidewall height is 75% of the tread with) , r is radial , and 15 is the rim diameter, if your'e gonna move one number up the other must go down, if you want the same height and width but a 16 inch wheel you would need a 215/70/r16 tire it'll be the same height and width, best bet would be to go to a tire shop and shop around
