Tire fitment question

Hey everyone looking to get new summer tires next week. I'm current running 205/40/17 on ESM 002 (17x8.5, Bolt Pattern: 4x100, Offset: 20, Lip Size: 3.0”)

I'm already stretched of course but does anyone think it will be a problem if i go to a wider tire such as 215/40/17 or 225/40/17?

I'm currently sitting autocross/ almost track ride height on Megan coilovers with a small amount of camber.

Will I have problems with steering from lock to lock?

My driving style is spirited and sporty in the canyons!
