okay, so I go along with ya'lls better judgement and do 225/45-15 tires....
there's ATS cup wheels in 15x7, but the offset is 20. i'm sure that's too much. but is it MUCH too much?

The offset is secondary to the fact that it's not enough wheel width.
You want a 15x8 minimum on that, 15x9 is actually ideal.
But to answer your original question: 15x7 +20 would fit nicely under the car.
I'm running 225/45-15s on the DD right now, mounted on 15x8 with a +36 offset. No rubbing in the back, untouched fenders. Fronts are rolled so I don't know. I just put +3mm spacers on the car to let me run a certain secret brake kit, and now I get a little scuff on max compression.
There's your data point. I figure that a fender roll would happily swallow the extra 1/2" from a +20.
Personally, I like a 15x8 on a street tire in that size. 15x9 is the track fitment.
I'm running a 205/50 R888 on 15x8 +20 wheels at 4"/4.25" pinch weld heights.
My lips are rolled flat and pulled a bit though, so I'm not as good a comparison point. 
oh i don't mind some rolling.

Don't be a baby. You haven't lived until you DD a miata on r comps through the summer.
