Does anyone know if one can swap 205-65-16 tyres for 215-65-16 tyres without changing rims.

Yes - assuming VW OEM steel rims 6.5J x 16. More details on a tyre/rim compatibility chart ---> New Wheels & Tyres Ordered
Good evening to all, I would like to know your opinion .. I currently have three sets of tires available..Nokian Wheatherproof, Bf K02 and Continental 200, all in sizes 215 / 65r16..on California documents are also possible 255 / 45r18 tires. .. what tangible improvement would I get in the driving of the vehicle? .. is the shoulder / 45 of the tire not too low for driving on roads that are not really smooth ....? and the negative points? ...
215/100×65=139.75mm
255/100×45=114.75mm
About 2.5 cm more sidewall on the ones you have so not a massive difference and you've still got 11.5 cm sidewall due to the extra width. However, it depends how rough the roads are? If they are as bad as down here in Napoli, I'd stick with the higher side wall before it shakes your van to pieces!

ollice su:
yes, but also increased rolling resistance so reduced mpg/mpl
Looking for recommendations for new tyres, find the choice too much and some websites are suggesting tyres that I don't think aren't up to to it van is 2016 T30 with full conversions...thanks in advance.
Depends on what you are thinking of doing with the van. It you want all season tyres I can thoroughly recommend the Michelin Agilis CrossClimates. The Agilis is the full van version and amazing wear characteristics. More info in this thread: Michelin Agilis Crossclimate
You get about and then some!
Thanks for the reply they look great if a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.
..sorry...
currently my wheels are made of steel 215 / 65r16 ET 51, which alternative tyres can I fit without rubbing and without having to fit spacers? (always using the circles of 16 ..) .... cheers

We had these on our t6 with factory alloys. Changed them for 215s
