No. 225 and 205 describe the width of the tyre in millimetres. 70 describes the size of the tyre wall as a percentage of the tyre width (often referred to as "profile"). So the wall height of the 225 70 tyre will be greater than the height of the wall of the 205 70 tyre. This will make the circumference of the tyre greater, which will cause your speedometer and odometer to be inaccurate.
If you want to increase the width of the tyre, you must reduce the profile accordingly. Your tyre retailer should be able to assist.

Are 225 70R 16 tires interchangeable with 225 65R 16?
Ideally you should have four tires on the car that match. With that being said you can certainly replace your 65r tires with 70r tires. The 70 refers to the width of the tire and a 70 is slightly narrower than a 65. The lower the number the wider the tire. I would not put 1 65 width tire on one side and a 70 width on the other side of the car, they will wear unevenly.
