I had that exact setup on my car prior to getting rid of the 17" wheels. The PS2 in a 225/45/17 will fit just fine and should have a very minor inpack on the speedometer. The sidwall height of the 225 will be slightly less than the stock 205 but over all as you stated the diameter will be the same.

225/45/17 and 255/40/17 is a great setup on the stock 17" wheels. Go for it.
