http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html is a great place to play with tire sizes. If you want to go with 16" rim, the size should be 225/55R16. However, I have not seen rims smaller than 17" for GS350.

good luck getting a 16" wheel on the 350. i think the brakes may be too big for it. id test out a 16" wheel first before anything.

16" won't fit on 350 i think. the rotors alone are 13.1". together with the caliper...
