The 17s it's not just the total weight, but where that weight is. Most of the weight of a wheel is in the rim, so if you push it all an inch further out, it's going to increase the rotational inertia even if you were able to find the same total weight 17s as your 15s. But on the bright side, the world is your oyster on tires.

FWIW, a 205/245 or 205/255 combo on the Euromeisters should not rub. If you run some camber on your car a 225 should fit up front without rubbing, even if you get a 225 that's "generous" for it's rated width like a ZII.

I swap around a lot between my OEM 15s on all seasons, fake Fuchs 15s with small diameter 225 sticky tires, and my 17s with sticky tires. I just like the car best on the Euromeister 17s despite the few drawbacks.

EDIT: Your car looks quite a bit lower in the rear than the front, is tha ton purpose?

It is the parking lot. There is a slope to the parking spot and the right rear is still on the slope part. The car was aligned and corner balanced for the 15s a couple of years ago. It is all fine as to ride height for the 15s on level ground. I think the 17s will be just fine as well.
