One thing everyone needs to keep in mind is how a difference in tire size (wheel size) affects your speedo. Check it out -

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

For example, when I was deciding on what wheels I wanted for the rear, I knew I wanted something a little wider. I found a nice set of TSW Mondello wheels that run a 20x10. Knowing I could put a 295 through 315 (possibly 325) I wanted to make sure which ever tire I get stays within a low percentage from the original tire.

I contacted Damon Witters from tirerack.com who said a 315/35 would fit a x10 wide wheel, but that size would ideally go on a x10.5 wheel. But what's a 1/2 inch? So comparing original tire size to something wider and ensuring I stay within a size that'll fit on a 20x10 wheel, I've concluded a 315/35/20 would fit! Of course then the price comes into play,...
