225/45/17 will fit with no issues. Same sidewall height and rolling diameter, more tread/contact patch. I have been running this size on the front for 4 years.

Between a 205 and a 225, I bet you start to notice a little difference in the car's balance. It will probably tramline more easily too.
The 17" front wheels on the 986 are 7" wide. That's the same width as the rear 16"wheels, which are 225s. So I would think 225s on the 7" front wheels should be OK.

Good to hear since the Potenza re760 tires cost the same in both sizes, I thought to beef up the front a little for a nore stable ride.
