Tire size calculator (courtesy of miata.net):
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

That should give you an idea of how much different those tires will be in size to your stock ones.

if you are putting those tires on your STOCK rims...or at least the rims you have now you should not have a rubbing problem...as far as the speedo thing...use the calculator on the site that rjakobs gave you the link to....what you want is a tire that is AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE in DIAMETER as the stock tire as possible.
