What front swaybar?
225/45 is not the right size for the wheels. It will be very difficult to mount any sort of high performance tire with stiff, short sidewalls on a narrow wheel. Why not ask in the appropriate forum (Tire and Wheel)?

BTW, I also have 225/50 street tires on the front.

Do you like a lot of oversteer or a really lot of oversteer? Neither setup will be safe on the road.
Stick with a 205F/245R setup.

The only down side I have seen to the 225/245 setup is that some tires with softer sidewall will react a little slow with the 225 front on such a narrow wheel.
I will stick to the 225/245 setup for my car, street and track.
