Look up tire size calculator on google and you can play with sizes toill you find a match or very close. I just put some 205/40-16's on my Corsa and the speedo is still as accurate as it was.

What size do you have?? Its pretty easy to tell what size to go up to when you plus-size your wheels, I can probably give you an example.

From 175/70-13 to:

-185/60-14 or 195/55-14
-195/50-15
-195/50-16 or 205/40-16

any other sizes will cause a significant change on your speedometer.

3rd Generation

Im currently Running on a set of 185/70R13. I would like to try and get a set of 15's But cuz I have an '81 Rolla I need to find wheels with a hole in the center of the wheel. And I really dont know much about wheels or wheel sizes or what I need to get. Ive found some pretty helpful calulator sites, but I'm still not completely sure on what the numbers all mean.

Well.. according to the miata calculator, 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 will give you very minimal change in speedometer.

If you're getting wheels, make sure you ask for RWD offsets, the wheel bolt pattern should be 4x114, which is very easy to find now a days. If you want some OEM wheels, you can go with the ones from 1984 and up Celica/Supra wheels.
