[Chris Klein]

I didn't think there was an off set desiganation but that it had to say inside fenders...

In SM we run 205/50/15 on a 15x7 (max, you could run 6.5) wheel.  30mm offset is max as well; you can only use spacers to get it out to 30mm total.

I think that's what Spec Miata runs... 30mm off set and some times spacers to push them a little further as well.

You don't. NBs can swallow them no problem, and even an NA will take
them with a reasonable offset. Heck, we run them on +30 offset wheels
on our Mazdaspeed.
