It has been done by many owners running OEM 17" rims.
225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear.

Here is one example:

Where did you find 225/xx/17 RT-615 Falkens? I only see 215/45-17, and that's listed as a future (not current) size.

Here is the link to order them online. They have the sizes posted, if you notice this is the stock for the Orlando FL area, they had the fronts in stock but the 255 rears had to ordered.

Wow, the information on the Falken web site is way behind the times! I didn't even consider the Falkens because they didn't list a 215/45-17 or a 225/45-17 on their spec sheet.

My only consolation is that the Falkens aren't that much cheaper than the Neovas that I did buy (even at Edge).
