You should be fine...assuming that the current tires aren't stretching already (which I'd highly doubt they are)

If your tires are stretching now, the 215s would help. It depends on the width of your wheels. But, I agree, you should be fine.

Oh no, I totally thought exactly what you said. Then I sat here, staring off into space, thinking about it. It took me a good fifteen minutes. Hahaha!
