I know that a lot of folks run 225/45/17 on the front; and several kinds of tires that are not available in the stock 205 size are available in the 225 (like the hankook v12 evo which is one I am looking at for my next set)
I bet some of them will chime in and let you know if there are any differences in driving feel or handling (my guess would be minimal, maybe a touch less understeer?) but I would wait to see what they say.
Diameter wise it is virtually identical to stock.
