Another question is, should I go with a 225/45 or a 245/40? I'm not really looking for a stretched look, but I don't want to add to much width to the tire. My ideal size would be a 235/40 but there are so few options.
I'd probably go with 225's and a sportier tire than stock. If I can fit a 245 on 9.5 with really good fitment, I think 225 on 17X8 will fit nicely. Test a bit with the tire tools that are stickied and the tire calc that miata.net has. That's how I decided on 245/35/18 for my wheels as they don't rub and my speedometer is accurate.
