not really. there is an equilibrium that you want to find. the wider your tire in the front, the harder it is to steer. and the more rubber you have, the more likely you have more metal too, and add the weight of both, and its bad. the more rolling mass you have, the more work your engine needs to do to go, and the more unsprung weight you have, the harder your suspension works and the greater the beating your drivetrain takes.

i use 235 30 18's by the way. on my old stock 17's i ran 215/45 and 225/40

unlikely that anyone is running 205/55/14 since that would make a speedometer useless. mayby, and its a big maybe, you could get away with 205 45 14, but 205 50+ 14 is pushing it unless you're racing and go by feel, not speedo.
