newbie question: tyre width

Just had my 94' gpx serviced anyway they rotated the tyres, thing is this means that it now has 17' 235s on the front and 17' 225s on the back. Can anyone tell me if this is likely to be problematic?
I know it will have some minor effect traction wise, just wondering if there's likely to be issues with rubbing the wheel arches or anything else and should they be changed back?

ok cool, thanks I know that they come with 16' tyres and I don't really know anything about such things so thought I'd better ask before I risked shreading the tyres or worse.
