Now you just have to look at your stock tire height and figure out what the + size tire should be for both your front and rear tire.
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html this site helps, or you could search, cause those standard tire sizes get used all other the place in the tire section

your front rolling diameter needs to be a little less. Im not sure how much. Do a search on here. I seen something on it a few days ago. I might be wrong here but i think the front needs to be about 3% less than the rear. But i could be wrong.

Go to the link i posted and punch in your stock front tire size 225/45-18 and punch in the stock rear tire size, and then look at the difference. Guess what, you need that same difference in your aftermarket setup.

275/30/19 = 275*.3 (Aspect ration) * 2 (top and bottom sidewall) / 25.4 to convert mm to inches + 19 to get total height in inches = 25.496"

Actually ABS on our cars also uses the wheel speed sensers to determine if a tire is slipping. If the car doesn't have the proper sized tires (front to rear stagger in height) ABS can and will go into limp mode. If one of the two fails TCS/VDC and ABS thr other also locks out.

obviously you havn't searched around a little here in the tire section. If you did you would have noticed that 245/40 and 255/40 are the two common sizes. Also if you run the calc program thats been posted for you , you may notice how close those two sizes are , 255 is less than 0.1 off fron stock tire height.
