why not use a lowering spring to achieve that moreso than a bigger tire? Also, what are you looking for? Just a wider tire, or taller as well? you could probably get away with a 275/55/18 in the rear, but it will make your speedometer off by about 2.5 mph. It really does depend on the rim too, if it can handle that wide of a tire, if it can, try a 305/45/18 and see what happens

You might also look for a tire size calculator on google. there is one from miata dot net that has been used for years.
