you are putting too much thought into this. I doubt you can see much difference between 215 and 225 vs 205 from 10 feet.
If anything the wider tire will fill the wheel well a little bit more. Bear in mind you are looking at 5 or 10 mm difference on each side of the wheel. that is approx less than 1/4" to less than 1/2 in.
Same thing on any diameter difference, less than 1/2" if any
Go with 225 on the front, the car will handle better

How much more $ are 225 vs 215. Probably is not much and considering you will have the tires for a while......

Goodyears warranty is 1/2 mileage for staggered setup regardless of the size
