Oops! Yes, you’re correct. They’re very close. I was thinking of another tire combo for some reason. Factory AP2 s2000’s actually run a 215/45 front, 245/40 rear. They’re within 3 millimeters in diameter.

That being said, my statement stays the same regarding recommendation. 225/40R18 would be the way to go for an 18x8 on a BRZ.
