Yes, you can

There will be about a 5% decrease in the tire diameter. 225 65 tires are 225mm wide and 146.25mm in height (65% of the width), while 215 60 tires are 129mm tall, which will affect the odometer and speedometer. When your speedometer reads 60 mph, you'll actually be traveling closer to 57 mph. Replacing the 225 65 tires with 215 70 tires would keep the diameter almost the same (150.5mm).
