My tire size is 205/45R17. I was told that the Thule model # TH04115080 will fit my tire. However, Im asking if they will they fit my car which is a 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club with factory not Brembo brakes?

I checked your owners manual and the Thule Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains # TH04115080 are a confirmed fit not only for your tire size, but they will work specifically on your 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club.

Your owner's manual recommends you not go faster than 30 mph while using the chains, and that you use them on the rear tires only. It is not recommended to use chains on the temporary spare tire, and you are not to use the chains on roads that are free of snow or ice as the chains and the tires could be damaged. The manual also notes that chains may scratch or chip aluminum wheels, so the anti-scratch nylon bumpers and soft-touch fabric liner integrated in these chains will give you the protection you need. The Dynamic Stability Control on your vehicle may not operate correctly when using tire chains. You will have proper clearance with these Thule Chains.

When following your Owner's Manual recommendations, I recommend these tire chains for your vehicle.
