The tire you purchased is a wider tire. The first number, 205, indicates height. It is a higher number because when the tire gets wider (the second number, 60) gets lower. If they are not rubbing, they should be ok. As far as my recommendations, I always recommend staying with direct replacement parts. If you didn't ask for a wider tire, take them back and have the shop put the correct size tire on it. If you didn't request the wider tire, they should have stayed with the OEM size.
