what size are you worried about?? The fact they are 16's?

Yes they will fit, 195/40 is ideal for 16's, so you wont have any stretch at all with 215

whether you get any issues with the 215 width tyres will also depend on the offset of the wheels. Do you know what they are?

The RX214's are ET35. So, yes the tyres will cause problems. I'd recommend getting some 195/40/16 tyres. There are some good deals online for them.
