Yes, if you want to keep the tires the same outer diameter and width, so your speedometer doesn't read incorrectly and you don't have any clearance issues, you could go with 255/65R18 tires

The 255/70R18 tires would be 1" larger in diameter than the 255/70R17, which would cause your speedometer to read 3% slower than your actual speed. If you don't care about that though, the 2014 rims would be perfectly interchangeable, both are 5x5 bolt pattern.
