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

Thanks for responding. Going with 18" wheels is no problem. I'd like to get as much tread to the ground that makes sense: It looks like from what I see posted that 255's work. Will a wider tread work/fit or is that sort of a diminishing return by possibly adding too much weight & resistance.
