it may rub on the inside when you make sharp turns, that's about it.

thanks for the replies... tirerack has some kuhmos 711 for 50 a piece in the 215/55/15 size. so you think a 215 tire would fit the width of the 6.5 just fine?

215 is fine as far as width goes and 55 is not a bad sidewall....slightly onthe high side http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

From that...your speedo will only read 1.8% too slow, not bad.
