Both okay?
 
Both okay where I live. Surprisingly to me, I think anywhere is the more common.
 
I reckon you're safer with 'anytime' for an international audience. It's just as good/natural/understandable, and it's more accurate.
 
I agree with Raymott as far as an international audience is concerned. However, I agree with Probus that, surprisingly, "anywhere" is more common for me too.

I can be there anywhere between 4 and 5 this afternoon.
It's not important. Just get there anywhere between 10 and 2.

When talking about duration, we say "It can take anything from two to five hours to drive there, depending on traffic".
