However plenty of good 18" wheels and lots of tires in those diameters. You could run 225/45/17 and 245/45/17?

On 986 Boxsters i have seen 255/40/17 square and I think 225/45/17 square on Hoosiers or hankook z214
on stock 986 17's, you can easily run 255/40-17 rear and 225/45-17 front
those sizes are virtually the same diameter and lot sof tire choices in those sizes
