So let's see if I am indeed at the starting line here.

Current tires - 185/65R14s on stock steels, hubcapped.

Want to hit - 16" or 17" alum. rims. SVTs would be nice, but not necessary.

What bolt pattern (I know there are only 4 studs) do I need in terms of spacing?

If I go to a 16" tire, what sidewall size do I need for about a 205-width tire?

Thanks!

Focus bolt pattern is 4x108.

17x7 rims work nice. Im oging to be upgrading to 18's though. :D

Tires for stock 16's are 205/50 - R16's. If you want to compare tires sizes vs. the stock 14's, try this link: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
