a 215/45/17 is 1% faster than your stock tires which means if your speedo reads 60 mph your really going 59.4 mph

a 225/45/17 is 0.4% slower than your stock tires which means 60 mph is 60.2 mph

So either of those will keep your speedo close to accurate. you can check other tires size combinations here http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Depends on what you want. If you want handling over drag racing then I would get 205 width - that is perfect for 7" wide rim. Anything over that and you will start to lose cornering ability since the sidewall flexes inward more so the bead seats. If you want higher traction for launching purposes then go for a 215 or 225.
