depends what overall diameter your current bag setup is going to lay, you get too big, it wont lay, you get too small, you're not using all of your bags.

i run 225/40/18's for the smooth ride of a 40 series.. at least, a lot smoother then the ever popular 215/35/18

Use this site Brian, just put in your stock size and you can try a few numbers to find the closest size.

I'm also running 225/40/18's as well and its the exact same as stock mazda wheels.

yeah the 18's are actually 3/4" shorted in diameter than my stockies, so they will lay, but i dont know about the tires, they come with 225/40/18's im kinda looking for 225/35/18's the guy hasnt emailed me back yet so im gonna ask to upgrade.
