No. The 215/50 has noticeably less sidewall. (and is shorter)

The 205/55 compares in sidewall & height to a 225/50 but is over 1" narrower.

If your choice is between 215/50 or 205/55 then choose 215/50 for handling & 205/55 for comfort.

For more tire selection and better performance try 225/50 but you may have rubbing issues on the earlier models.
