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.
I've been using that tool on miata.net and the closest I've come to keeping it accurate was the 235/40. The 225/45 was about 1.4% off on the speedometer rating while the 235 was only .9%.

I have seen that the kumho xs have a a tread with of 7.9 in on their 215's so I'm almost thinking that may be the way to go as well.
