I am not clear if you are asking about 205/60R15 or 205/60R16 size.
I use 205/65R15's on 15" steel rims on my 2002 9-5 Linear so if anything the 205/60 is short , not tall. I have no problems at all. However you cannot use 15" wheels on the 9-5 Arc or Aeros due to the larger brake calipers, I am not sure if you can use the 15" on earlier V6 SE models.
If you are refering to 205/60R16's then then they are only nominally only marginally larger , .4", in diameter then 215/55R16's and I do not think you would have a fitment problem but I am not certain. Perhaps others have used the 205/60R16 with success.
