looks like 205-45-16's would be about right, 205-50-16 is stock t2 i think, that would be ok.
taller tire = taller gearing
on an NA shorter = better
turbo taller is probably good

The 205/40r16 will be 1/2" smaller in diameter than your stock 185/70r13. Will provide awesome steering response and cornering. 205/45r16 will give the same diameter, however the 205/40r16 size is plentiful in selection and thus very cost effective! I run 205/40r17 so the profile will look the same on yours. I also run 4.88's in the rear.

RX-7 doc, sorry was on my phone, on the way to pick the wheels up. Guy I bought them from has a hook up ontires so I was trying to find the size I need.
Wacky I would like to get a killer set of wheels with nice spacing but I got a good deal on these wheels, and I know +40 offset was what gslse used and I did the suspension swap. Current wheels rub and I'm trying to eliminate that
