Not with those Tyres.

Even with stretched tyres you would have too much poke and need to be slammed for the wheels to look any good on the car.

That size wheel would sit the same as 15x8 0et wheel. You can pull it off but you need to roll/pull guards, slam your car, and run a fair amount of camber. Those tyres would have to go for some 195/50's or thinner.

RX2/3 PCD = 4X110
RX7 Series 1 PCD = 4x110 (possibly series 2 as well)

NA/NB MX5 PCD = 4x100

wont fit anyway, the wheel studs on the early RX series (RX2/3) are 10mm further apart than on an MX5.
