Recommended track day tire size?

You also probably can not put 235 wide tires on a 7" wheel, you need at min 7.5". 225's fit a 7" fine
YMMV

Actually, the 235's will fit fine on the 7x17 wheel. That is what Boxster Spec runs for the fronts in the staggered setup.

I wonder if that is true with RE-71's. In looking at the spec, the min for them in 235 is 7.5" and I just ordered new ones in 225 for my 17x7 wheels.

Could Tire Rack be wrong

It's a stretch Jay but they will fit. The result of running 235s is a little more contact patch and a little less sidewall control. I have run both and usually prefer a 225 on a 7" wheel.

I wonder which would be better with my stock suspension

My preference would be 225. I expect exaggerated rollover with limited camber.
