Welcome to the Club.
You most certainly can go to 235-70-16 with ease. I did so back in 2002 and have kept that size ever since. No modifications necessary to do that.
BTW, one of my best friends is from Sudan, whom I met in college, so it brings a special joy to me to see someone from there.

Jumping in here late as I only joined recently(about 1 month)
1) My MPG on the center dash screen(in which I reset at each fill up) always reads ~1 mpg higher than my calculator reading. It's always been this way since new, with the OE Integritys and now the G/Y ACT's.
2) I thought about installing 235-70-16 on my wife '01 RX but, I really didn't think that the 235's would fit properly in the rear and the 235's sidewall would rub up against the strut, as I can bearly now fit my index finger between the tire sidewall on the 225 and the strut. So, I stayed with the 225. I couldn't find(4 yrs ago) anyone that had tried to go larger/wider.
Oh well, it's all good! Maybe the next set of tires, I'll try the 235's. I have been entertaining the thought of Michelin LTX M/S 2 as I have just recently introduced a buddy and his wife to these tires and they love'em
