You can but shouldn't. If you chose to do so, you would decrease the circumference of the wheel and therefore your top speed will be lower, but acceleration a bit higher. Your speedo will also read wrongly, but not by much, and it will overstate the speed.
The real answer to this question comes from an understanding of what all the numbers mean. The 225 is the width of the tyre in mm. The 60 and 65 are the profile of the tyre, or the ratio of height / width. So, the height of the 60 tyre is 60% of the width, and the height of the 65 tyre is 65% of the width. The R means that its a steel radial tyre. The 17 means that it fits a 17 inch rim.
The overall diameter of the 225/60R17 wheel and tyre combination will be 17 inches (431.8mm) plus 2 times 225 * 0.60 = 431.8 + 270 = 701.8 mm
The overall diameter of the 225/65/R17 wheel and tyre combination will be 17 inches (431.8mm) plus 2 times 225 * 0.65 = 431.8 + 292.5 = 724.3 mm
So, the answer in the first paragraph is correct. The explanation above is why. Only one more thing to add to the first paragraph. Using the 60 tyres instead of the 65 tyres will give you better braking performance. Or, in other words, your brakes will not have to work as hard to stop the vehicle, but you might be more likely to lock up the brakes, and skid. This is because the 'lever' length is shortened. i.e. The distance from the centre of the wheel to the road surface is reduced, by 22.5mm, so it easier for the brakes to stop the vehicle. This isn't a major problem, because you should get used to it relatively quickly.
If you fit the 60 tyres instead of the 65 tyres, you will be travelling slower than your speedo indicates you are.
'Standard' solder is 60% tin, and 40% lead. There are other solders available (silver for use in jewellery etc)
60 in hexadecimal would be 3C
7.5 x 8 = 60
A very easy to use program is Acoustica Mixcraft. You can download a free trial for 7 days. And then you can buy the full version for 60-70 dollars
There are 60 seconds in one minute. There are 60 minutes in one hour. Therefore, 1 hour 4 minutes 6 seconds is equal to (1 x 60 x 60) + (4 x 60) + 6 = 3846 seconds.
can i use 215/65r17 winter tires on my 2007 uplander that have 225/65r17 tires on them righ now
yes the only difference is that it will be that it will be just a bit higher than the originals

No, this is an unacceptable swap. You must never go over or under 3% of the original tires diameter. The 65 series tire will be 3.21% larger in overall diameter. This will have an adverse effect on handling, ride, & braking. Your speedometer will also be off 2 mph.
No, how would they fit the rim.
You can install 235/50-17 or 215/60-17 and that is about the only sizes you should use.
Yes, if you also change wheels.
I need to know what size tires you have installed now to answer. Installing a tire with a different overall diameter will effect speedometer, handling, mileage, and performance. Use the link I will post to see what different size tires will do.

Not without changing the wheels also. If you also change the wheels to 17 inch wheels then that is an acceptable swap.
Yes all four or 2 in the same axle.might not be manufactures specification but it works great
Driving in the snow on 225/50/R18 is worse than on 195/60/R17, if the same tires are used.. the tire width is what matters in snow!
