I don't get why you want to do this? You are going to fundamentally change the handling characteristics of the car.
And in a bad way.
It will affect the geo too.
Why would a tyre size affect the geo. I can see why some people would want to go to 255 on the rear as a Boxster is largely over tyres on the rear anyway. In 986 flavour the 17 inch wheel comes with a 255 tyre. And in a bad way.

Lol sorry type error !!! front is indeed 235 40 18 rear 265 40 18, so i am i right in saying i could put a narrower profile on the rear?
Leave the tyres the correct size, just as the manufacturer intended. Change them to a non standard size at your own peril. If you change them, not only will the handling balance be affected, but should you be unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident, your insurer may well choose not to pay out if you've made unauthorised modifications to the car.
Just out of interest, why do you want to fit a narrower rear tyre..?
