Will this confuse the TC into thinking the fronts are spinning when they are not?

To my understanding - yes, exactly whats happening. 205/50/17 are standard size on that model and car has 1999mm circumference programmed in so it knows its suppose to be doing 500 revolutions per 1KM. on 225 ones, the actual circumference is 2062mm and car does only 485 revolutions per 1KM. I am not surprised that this can trigger TC warnings.
You should have it sorted ASAP. If thats what you were given as "matching set" they should immediately fix the mistake.
