Bill,



that tire will fit the rim, BUT, it will not give you the correct

outside circumference, i.e. the circumference of the tire will be larger

than designed into the car, so your speedometer will read inaccurately,

tires may rub inside the fender wells, etc. 



take a look at the tire size calculator on the Miata Net in the garage

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



good luck!





pete and Bruiser,
