I did exactly that. I powder coated a set of 17" Boxster twist wheel ( 7in F and 8.5 in R), and put Hankook R-S3 tires, 225/45s F and 255/40s R. I ran one complete DE on them. The R-S3s aren't the grippiest DOT tires, certainly not in the rain, but they are the value/price ratio is pretty good. They also talk to you very well and don't get too slick when hot. I figure even if I go through one set of them every year, that's not bad.

The 225s are already a little wider than I would want for the front 7in, but the 255s are fine for the Rear 8.5s.
