The service manager at my dealer told me that the Hybrid sensors key off the outside diameter of the tire. Your P245 55 R19 tires have an OD of 29 inches. The P 255 50 R19 tires have an OD of 29.6 inches. Check my facts by using this calculator http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html . According to what this guy says, you can change to an 18 inch rim as long as the OD stays the same otherwise your speedometer, odometer and other diagnistics will get screwed up.

The worst adverse effect is on the braking system which helps to charge the HH batteries. I helped to educate my service manager when he proposed changing the wheel and tire size on my 06HH for new winter tires. Best to stick with the same wheel and tires size - get after the tire manufacturers.

According to this tire size finder thing, you should probably stick with P 245 55 R19.
