Use this tire size calculator to find out how far off from stock you'll be:

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

Also different tire manufacturers have different recommended wheel sizes for tires. You need to figure out which tires you're going to get then find out the recommended sizes.

On my 03, for an 8.5" wheel I would go 265 and on the 9.5" I'd put a 295. That is, if you don't care about rotating your tires. I personally just bought a set of 18x9 03 Cobra's in black chrome and a set of 285/30/18's all the way around, mainly so I can rotate my tires.

04 Saleen's had 265/35/18 in the front and 295/35/18 out back..however if you use that tire calculator, that means the rear tire will be about 1" taller than the front. So if you wanted 265 front and 295 rear on your car and wanted the tires to be the same height relative to one another, you'd have to go with a 265/35/18 front and 295/30/18 rear. Looks different on paper but they will end up being about the same size. Play with the tire calculator link and you'll see what I mean.
