Just use any google-able online "tire calculator". For example this.
Radius change 0.18in/4.6mm, that's your ride height change. Very probably not much to notice visually aswell.
There was a lot of grip from tire switch from stock primacies (no more tire chirps at slow speeds (which i actually considered fun and missed) and immense wet grip). 215 vs 225 differs less then from that of tire model/rubber compound, it may seem that contact area patch should increase proportionally to width, but it's more of changing contact patch shape to shorter but wider. I'd choose rather by if a bit more comfy but sloppy vs a bit sharper, and by tire costs for specific sizings.
