Will tires from a Ford Taurus 205 65 15 fit on a Chrysler Cirrus 195 65 15?

Asking for my granddaughter
 
They will fit on the rims but the diameter/circumference and width are different/larger/wider on the Taurus tires versus the Chrysler tires. Check fender clearance.

Should be fine. The difference in width and diameter is probably not enough to worry about. Its going to throw the speedo off slightly, but again its probably nothing to be too concerned with.
 
Tires are slightly taller ( 1/4 inch per side) and slightly wider ( about 1/4 inch per side as well). One size bigger usually fits fine, and will usually correct optimistic factory speedometers a little.

Most speedometers read a little bit high, meaning an indicated 60 mph is usually about 58 to 59 mph actual speed. The taller tire will correct this somewhat, depending on how much taller the tire is, and how far off the speedometer is.

IF the cars speedometer is dead on, at a true 50 mph the taller tire will show an indicated 49 ... at a true 100 mph, 98 mph on speedometer. Nothing to worry about.
 
Tires, or the whole wheel/tire assembly? The hub centric bore will be different, even if the bolt pattern is the same if it includes the wheels. Tires alone will be fine.

Bolt pattern will definitely be different
