315/25/19 is too narrow for my wheels.... help

i would love to put on a 325 or a 335.....

i tried looking for a 325/25/19 , or a 335 25 19, and no luck

i took off one of my wheels today to touch up the bottom of the brake caliper, and i noticed the rear tires are stretched onto the rim... i dont like the way it looks, and im not sure how safe it is...

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 325/30-19. Will fit a 12" rim nicely. Conti has the same in the Sport Contact 2 Vmax but don't know anything about the Conti tires for performance.

This will tell you everything you need to know: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Anything over 315 throws the diameters out of whack, from what I have read. No need to go wider, it's already WIDE as hell, and your awd!

Steve, I always use that size tire on Porsches with a 19x12 wheel, as its the only thing that really works with the AWD. The tire is actually meant for a 11.5" wheel for proper fit, but can be stretched to a 12". There arent any real options, unless you go to RWD.

Nobody makes a 335 width for a 19", so its pretty much the only option. And if you are RWD, it would be fine. The Enzo uses that size stock.
