Thanks.
If I roll the fenders I guess I can put much larger tires on. I already bought the 195's because I was told by the people I purchased the rims from that thats the size that will fit the rim and still go on the miata with no rubbing. I guess I have to find a way to exchange these tires for bigger. Should 205/50's do the job and eliminate the lip of the rim hanging out? I like the stretched look, I realize that the 195's look like **** because of the lip hanging out.

I just don't think the tires are the real problem here. With 15x8 0 offset, there's simply no way you're going to fit a decent piece of rubber in there, with anything resembling normal suspension travel, absent rubbing.
It sounds to me like you're after aesthetics rather than performance here. If that's the case, then I'm sorry dude but you are really on the wrong forum. Around here, we tend to actually care how the car drives and handles somewhat more than how it looks sitting still next to three dozen Hondas in the parking lot of Denny's on Friday night. And to that end, we tend to be pretty hostile towards people who try to come in and *** up the place. There's a reason for this: MiataTurbo is our safe haven away from bullshit- we don't like ricers, we don't want them here, and if hurting their feelings (or just banning them) is what it takes to make them go away, then so be it. This isn't a democracy, and we really don't give a **** about people whose opinions differ from ours in this regard.
You will find much more sympathetic ears, and more "productive" conversation (insofar as the goal of running 15x8 zeros simply for the sake of doing so) at clubroadster.net. Failing that, a lot of the weenies do still frequent miata.net, and the mods there will prevent anyone from hurting your feelings.
edit: Looks like he won't be reading this after all.

195's on 8" 0 offset. Why don't you ask about installing your xbox in the dash. How about a 5000 amp stereo with 42 speakers? Forget the Teins, put in hydraulics! Adjustable ride height is where it's at.
Like Joe said. This isn't the place for advice on ricer bling. You want advice on something that performs properly this is the place. No love or patience here for foolishness.
