Ok, before I pull the trigger, let me state the question in no uncertain terms.

On my 02 Boxster base with factory 17" wheels, can I just upsize the fronts to 225/45-17 and leave the rears at 255/40-17 without any ill effects? If not, what sizes other than stock would be acceptable.

Please elaborate on any sited ill effects.

TIA

Yes. No problem at all. The 225/45/17 tires have the same outer diameter as the stock 205/50/17 tires. Many people switch to the 225's to get more grip up front and reduce understeer.
