The stupid small tires on huge wheels are part of the "stance" craze, and I think came about so they could put wide wheels under an over-lowered car without rubbing.

Yes, I believe the later models can handle wider rims (however I am still a noob in the Miata world so don't take my word for anything).
I'm kinda kicking myself for not going with the 15x7.5's I was looking at, however the tire I have is a 205 and is has a straight sidewall, I'm guessing I could go to a 215 (or maybe a 225?) with no problem.
