My 1303 has 17*7.5" wheels front and rear, with 215/40ZR17 on the front and 225/45ZR17 on the rear.
I spent a great deal of time deciding on that combo, in fact 5 out my 6 past Bugs had lower profile tyres upfront.
Wheel diameter differential has a great influence on braking bias too, as a smaller wheel turns quicker/has longer to roll with respect to the rear.
In my case, this helps as my brakes are 4pot Brembo and the bias could possibly be too far forward, if I did not have front tyres that are 95% of the hieght of the rear tyres.
It's also a matter of taste, 205/40x17's look lost on the back of a Bug IMO
