it depends on how large the offset of the rim is. I dunno how wide is too wide though. Im pretty sure your could go bigger than 8

Saying you have 30s doesnt help, unless you list the other numbers. The idea is to keep the diamter stock, or close to it. So if stock is 16/60s, 17/50s would be the same etc. Check out tirerack.com, I belive its that site that has a calc to see how far off your speedo will be (in percentage).

Its also important to note that MAzda's offset is off for our cars. PEople need spacers to push them out, but I forget the thickness. I use the 17" mazda millenia wheels (17lbs) but with new tires they rub on the inside for a couple days. Then they're "csutom" fit
