Upsizing to the 225/45 fronts would essentially reduce the understeer, and thus give you more balanced handling. Porsche built in a lot of understeer with the 205 front to 255 rear stagger, most likely, so that novice drivers don't swap ends (rear end coming around) in tight corners. If you put on a wider front (225), then you reduce this tendency to have the front end push on corners. I recently made the switch up to 225s up front myself, and like the result. Hope that helps.
