people rock 15x8 0et with a 195/45 on a very low mx5 with rolled guards so you should be good depending on how low and tyre choice
'94 S-Special 1800 in BLACK
Flares and 225/45 Semi Slicks.

I ran 205/50's on 15x8 +25's. They are alright till around 305mm hub to arch where they will rub the guard liners on big bumps or small bumps with the wheel turned a bit.

I had to get the lips rolled on front and rear guards, your wheels will stick out 10mm further than mine did

Think it would work fine.
Will probably need to roll the lip flat so it Dosnt catch the tyre.

But apart from that.. should be good!
