My g/f has her car lowered with H&R springs which would be similar to the eibachs. The max size she can go is 18x7.5.. 5x115.5 42mm offset. Tire size is 225/35/18. Any bigger on the tire will cause rubbing. The fenders are rolled too.
Hope that helps.

From the R mans old posts

the bolt pattern on our cars is 5X114.3 so it has to have that pattern

the information below should give you what you need to know about the wheel offsets and the tires sizes you can use with that offset. also if you will go to this site http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
its a tire size calculator which will tell you the differences between the stock size tire you have and any size you are considering...it will give you the differences and tell you how much your speedometer will be off if any.
