what size tires do you suggest for my 99 gold camry, and do you know any good places to get them from? (I live in north ca)

Sharp looking rims.

As for tire size, it depends on whether you have a 4cyl or a V6 and whether you want to focus on looks or on performance.

Probably looks more than preformance (with a 5sfe I'm not going anywhere fast 8 P) but comfort and price are both important.

Go here http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and put in your stock tire size and then you can play with the upsizes. keep the overall diameter as close to stock as possible (within a few tenths of an inch... +/- 0.2" or so).

That will give you the optimal sizes at each diameter/ratio.

Right now I think I'm choosing between 225/40, 215/45, and 225/45, which do you think would be the best choice?

If you are all about looks you would want wider and lower profile, so 225/40 would be your best choice out of those 3.

for 225/40 will they hit the wheel well in a turn though? They seem like they'd be a lot wider.

Nope it should be fine if the rims are the right offset.
