But if you were serious about "performance," you'd just run the 16s as your street wheels and pick up a separate set for play time.
Either a 15x8 with 205/50 or 225/45, or a 17x8 with 235/40.

So if you aren't putting any extra section width on the ground, why take the extra weight and rotational inertia of a heavier wheel/tire setup.
And if you're doing Hoosiers (then no reason to go to 17s), they have just released the A6/R6 in 245/40/15 to go along with the 275/35/15.
Yes, these are all slightly undersized so they change your gearing, but it pays off with the low weight and extra grip.Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

How can anyone recommend a tire size without knowing offset?
If they are too lazy to research tire sizes, they are too lazy to research proper offsets as well.Need parts now? Need them cheap? steve@blunttech.com

The 225/45s are actually even faster on a 9" wheel, it's well documented in the Miata community.
The TRM wheels have abysmal quality control.
I've seen numerous pics of as much as 1/8" difference in the depth of the spokes. That's a bunch when you're trying to stuff big brakes behind them.

There are some Konigs that fit the bill. I'm running the Flatout's now, 15x8 Et25 with 205/50 R888s. Check out www.good-win-racing.com
It easily fits this 11" Dynapro setup.
