I'd say your taking a risk with transmission wind up. your tyres need to be the same size.
unless you go wider. for example. 215-45-17 f and 225-40-17 r
basic rule of thumb tyre width goes up by 10 tyre wall comes down by 5 to give the same rolling radius.
hope this is of help.

ie 225/40/17
225 is the tyre width in mm
40 is the aspect ratio - % of tyre width for the wall
17 wheel size.
in case you were unsure what everything means.

Manual or auto is relevant here!
Having said that, in my opinion and experience (running 5% different profiles as you suggest) is its not enough to cause problems and will drive and survive just fine.
