Meh.... the blue miata looks like the rear wheels are still just a little too wide for the rubber. They are very flush with the fenders though and look like they fit very well. As long as he's got enough room in there anyway not to get fender rub when the car is actually driving down the road.

If the tires rub anywhere on the fender or frame when the car is leaning or suspension/steering is moving... that IMO is poor fitment. Function>form, if you can't drive a car the way it looks without damaging something, whats the point? And the civic imo the wheels are sticking out way too much. The bottom of the sidewall where the tread starts should be even with the rest of the sidewall and the face of the wheel. Why do people want their wheels to stick out further? Thats just extra weight you don't need, and more chance of damaging a rim too.

Anyway, both are beautiful cars... but not the BEST example of proper fitment and stance IMO.
