Shouldn't be a problem, but the tire will be smaller in width and outside to outside diameter.

I would advise against this. That tire is MUCH smaller than your OE. Why on Earth do you want to do this? Go to http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html to see a visual of size difference. You are going to have a tire that is more than 10% smaller circumference than OE. That will raise your RPM quite a bit, and your speedo will be off quite a bit too. IMO - not a good idea.
