Run your stock and proposed tire sizes thru the calculator and see:

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

I'm running the 245/40R17 ADVAN Neovas on stock Enkeis and it lowered ever so slightly. According to the calculator, it'll drop you by about 0.3".

^^+1 The diff is so minimal you'll never see/feel it. People have the best luck using the 245/40-17 size.
