try out this link - http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

yah 195/55/15 is the stockie size. 205/40/17 or 215/40/17 should work.

anyone know if there would be any problems with the second one? or should we just stick with the smaller size?

One thing that I've noticed on cars that have stock springs with 17's, is that they tend to look raised a bit even though they're not. It would be a good idea to lower it, it will look a lot better that way.
