Just order 18" Giovanna Essen ( for Show) I recommend 235/40/18 as well. Leave the 225/40/18 alone.

Hey maxxxed out, check out this link,
http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

You can see which size will be near original and by how much it will throw your speedometer off.

I believe in 18" the size which is nearer original 17" is 245-40-18 but for this size you need a wheel that is at least 7.5" or 8 " wide preferably.

Hope it help.

Cheers
