Yes, provided tyre profile matches.

All pre, mini & facelift chassis/shells were basically the same so any wheel/tyre combination as originally supplied will fit.....

Standard on MV6 etc is 235/45/17.  I know that 18's will fit as well, depending on offset.  Mikedundee, Bob Dent and others have 18's on and Bob in particular I know has wider than that on the rear of his estate.

Check http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html for comparable sizes.....

Yep Bob has 235`s on front and 265`s on rear however there 17"s - i also thought he had 18`s but he insists not on Monday over 12 beers or so...
 
But 18`s fit no problem anyway...
