I have standard 15 wheels and tyre sizes front and rear are different

215/65 r15 96h rear
195/70 r15 92h front
is this standard. my bongo is 4x4 aft if that makes a difference.

Documented fully on the forum & in the factsheets, it's normal, not sure if they're the right sizes, a search will reveal all

It should also be shown on a plate stuck inside the driver's door opening.

Depends what you want, a few of us, (me) lol have been using 215's all round, at least I have for the last five years with no probs. If you do just remember that your speedo will show about 5mph faster thna you are doing, I have not altered the thing as it helps with speed cameras, lol.

It may encourage oversteer, so don't go racing around corners

I believe others have found that the handling wasn't as good as it should be, but I'm not sure

According to the book 215/70 can also be used on the back

The sizes on above post is as recommended in the handbook, to be used with 15x6jj wheels. However I am sure someone with more experience in other tyres will be along to help. sorry I can't be of more assistance.
