I have a 2005 chrysler Sebring. OEM tire size is 205/60/ R16. Can I fit 225/60 R16 Tires on it with no problem?

Well first you need to include the complete tire size or bad things can happen when comparing different sizes. For example 225 60 r16 should really be written as "P225/60R16 97S". 255 65 r18 would be accurately written as "P255/65R18 109T". The "P" means the tire conforms to Passenger Metric load and inflation table standards. If there was no P in the size then the tire is European Metric and the amount of weight the tire can carry at a given inflation pressure may be different. One sometimes has to be careful when putting Euro-Metric tires on a car that originally had P-Metrics and vice-versa. "225" or "255" is the Section Width of the tire or the measurement of the widest point of the tire (sidewall to sidewall about half way down) in millimeters. It is not a measurement of the width of the tread. The "60" or "65" is the Section Height of the tire or the measurement of the tire from the bead to the top of the tread taken as a percentage of the Section Width. In other words 60% of 225mm or 65% of 255mm. "R" means the tire is of Radial construction. "16" or "18" is the mounting rim diameter. The next number, the "97 or "109" respectively is the Load Index, which tells us how much weight the tire can hold at specific pressures following the load and inflation tables. For example at 30 psi a tire sized P225/60R16 97S can carry a load of 1,477 pounds and its maximum load is 1,609 lbs at 35 psi. The P255/65R18 109T sized tire at 30 psi carries a load of 2,127 pounds and at 35 psi 2,271 pounds. The last letter, the S or the T is the tires Speed Rating, indicating how fast the tire is designed to go under test conditions. A tire of any given size can be designed for any speed rating. In the examples S and T are simply the most common. You can figure out the overall diameter of a tire by multiplying the Section Height by 2, converting it to inches and adding the mounting rim diameter. Or conversely you can convert the mounting rim diameter to millimeters. Whatever floats your boat. Or you can just look at a tire manufacturers spec sheet for a tire of that size and it will tell you. In your examples a P225/60R16 97S tire is a very common mid and full-size sedan tires found on half the cars Ford and GM built in the last 15 years. P255/65R18 109T would be a very uncommon size, probably for an SUV of some kind but at any rate for a much larger vehicle. These sizes are certainly not interchangable for reasons which hopefully are now obvious.

Measure the hight of the 2 tires

I think you may have issues rubbing at max lock, but I cannot say for sure.
