you can go here:
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
then you can compare the 2 sizes and take measurements to see if you'll have any interference anywhere.

It looks like picking the size you want will increase your tire diameter by 7/8" (thus raising your truck 7/16") plus any tread wear from your old tires. This will probably throw off your speedometer about 3% if you dont use a superchips tuner. Of course, 3% isnt very much and is probably within acceptable error. (Don't hold me to that).
The width of the tire (while I'm sure it would look sweet as h3ll) will probably cause the most issues.
Someone out there has to be running that size, help him out!
Good luck!
