make sure the hubcentric size is the same.. i can't be sure, but i kinda rmb the newer mx5s have smaller hub size than us, so that means they don't fit. just make sure it's not anything smaller than 56.1

maybe someone can confirm this too

What he ^^ said. If the hubbore is good than they'll fit.

The tires will be much smaller than stock diameter though.

Well it can't really be "too large" because you can always get hubcentric rings to adapt it from that width down to 56.11. It's only about $15 for some rings.

Are they OEM Mazda wheels, or just aftermarket wheels that the guy had on his Miata?

As far as I know, the center bore diameter on all of the Miata wheels is 54.1 mm, which means that they won't fit a MINI.

If the seller says that they're OEM Miata wheels, double-check with him to make sure he's measuring the center bore correctly.
