Default Tire size increase

Hi,

I am planning to get new tires for my 1999 Honda Accord EX Sedan. The stock tire size is 195/65-15. Can I do a 215/60-15? Has anyone tried this before?

Are there any disadvantages?

thanks in advance

It should fit just fine, should handle a little bit better but might use 1-2% more gas.
