255/40/17 still. The idea being that the additional width grants a bit of artificial sidewall stiffening, allowing lower tire pressures. The Miata boys run 245/40/15 on a 10 inch wheel all day, everyday without issues. Worth noting that the 200TW tires generally run wider than normal tires, but I assume everyone in this forum section already knows that and already runs 200TW's, Hoosiers, or some form of track tire etc.
