deopends on width but if they are around 7'' wide then 40p would be fine.
i guess you'd also need to check centre bore diameter etc..

+40 on 6.5's should be ok

Also depends on tyres, us ethis site to work it out:
http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp

Need to know what your current or stock tyres and wheels are, then you can work out what you can fit on

site is a bit stupid as it changes the tyre automaticlally you cant try bery many combinations as it just wont allow it.

best tyre size calc i have used is here,

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

However you will need some experience with sizing to get it 100% everytime.

did you sort this problem jake?

As long as there isn't camber adjustment on the rear it should be sweet.
