205/40-17 will retain the correct overall diameter.

I'm sorry.

You want 205/40-17 for your car.

You can use this site to help you figure out the right sizes in the future: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

retain meens- to keep.

what he means is, if you use 205/40/17 then your speedometer will be correct. because the diameter doesnt change/change much from stock.
