usually yes, but the ratio will need to be smaller to keep an accurate speedometer reading and ensure they fit in the wheel well.

Foe example: a 225 60 15 tire is almost the same diameter as a 205 65 15 tire, the difference is so close the effect is negligible. However the 225 tire has just under one inch "wider" tread. Make sure it fits. A reputable tire shop can confirm the fit for your car over the phone.

Can you use 225 70r 15 instead of 205 70 r 15 on 84 cougar LS?

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.

Can 235 75 R15 tires substitute 225 75 R15 tires?

The 225/55 tires are wider and shorter in sidewall height, so the height would be fine but you'll need to see if the width works without scraping.
