Keep in mind that at one point, your wheel lip will actually hit your fender. 11.5 ET21 tucks the edge of the 1/4 panel, but hits the inside under compression - this is with full neg camber w/factory camber bolts and pulled 1/4's. Unless your rear 1/4's are extended, you are going to damage your wheels pretty bad trying to run this setup, might even have some sort of failure on the highway. If you have some aftermarket camber arms you can give more negative camber to make it fit but at that point, you are negating the original purpose all together of trying to get more poke.
As long as you stay with the inner equivalent of 11 +25 you shouldn't have inner clearance issues. Outer clearance will differ from car to car, so you'll have to be the judge/compare with your current 10.5 ET15.
Also, if you aren't already, use this calculator for easy translation. I hate the miata one, haha. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

So that means 11 +15 will fit better than 11 +25?

If offset stays the same, the wheel sticks out 6mm farther and 6mm closer to the suspension for each 1/2" you get wider (6mm is about 1/4"). 10.5 +15 to 11 +15 will do what I just said. Then when you change the offset to +25, you are pushing the wheel 10mm more towards the suspension. 6 + 10 gets the 16mm and you would also be 4mm more "sunken" than 10.5 +15 (+6 - 10 = -4)

This is a little off topic but i still think it can safely be called an aggressive wheel fitment:
Check out this video of a guy fitting this C63 with four space savers and taking it to the track. Now, I feel pretty strongly that the RX8 is about the sweetest handling car (attainable by mere mortals like myself) in the wide world. But this would make a stock rx8 feel like a street monster.

im deciding between 19x10.5 +12 or 19x11 +15/+25
ill do 11 +15 in a heartbeat if someone tells me they fit perfectly without having to do more fender work that i already have :P

After looking at my rear fenders, I have very little more clearance before tire hits fender, so 10.5 +12 or 11 +25 would work, but 11 +15 would require me to really flare the fenders which is a no.
I love writing to myself.
