More importantly Z1 Star spec is not available in 17"s for our fitment...
If you upsize the front to a 225/45/17 you will find nearly every tire including Star Specs. More selection, less understeer, shorter stopping distance... a win-win-win. A 205 up front is far less interesting to most Boxster drivers so don't let that size stop you.
