that's a common enough comment and just not true except for some extreme fitments
looking at just the mainstream 205/225 fitments I have in my admittedly not fully comprehensive tire dB
15s have 21 different ways to go
17s have 8
16s have 15
What you do get is more flexibility of sizing w/o going too tall for instance if you want a 275 rear there are 2 17s and 3 15s9including 285 which isn't available in 17)
if you want 255then 17s or 18 is the only way to go
i mention 275 because i designed my car around 235/40 and 275/35 x17 but ended up using 225/45//255/40 xx17 because of the spotty availability of the 275s
Here are
all the appropriate 15, 16, 17 and 18 911 SC/Carrera fitments
You can that there is a broader range of sizes if not individual tire choices in 17
