Default Turning Radius Question

Ok guys, my car has the stock 16 inch wheels on it. I've noticed that the 16s have a very tight turning radius, making it very easy to do a u-turn on residential streets vs. doing a 3-point turn.

If I go up to a 17 inch wheel, maybe using one of the deals on 17 inch Bullits and stock GT tire packages, will my turning radius be affected?

Would it be better to just get a set of 17s and put lower-profile tires on my car?
