Need Quick Tire/Wheel Advice

I have been running 205/50-15 Kumhos on my autocross car. It is a
1st gen Rx-7 with 15x7 wheels.

Can I run a 225/45-15 on those wheels? More importantly, would the
larger size be ok in an autocross situation? Would they be better (since 
they are wider) or would I be better off sticking with the 205?

I know it sounds like a dumb question (Is a wider tire better? Duh), but
I know that just because a tire will mount up on a rim doesn't mean
that it safe or competitive like that. (I'm imagining the tire 
ballooning out over the rim)

Thanks
