Can I correct Azenit Falken RT-615 195/60 R14 tires on a Miata in 1990? The car has stock 14 "rims, and I need to know if I would have all the problems of clearance through a larger set as the 195/60 R14?
Assuming that the stock ride height you will not have problems with authorization. Your stock rims are 5.5 inches wide, it is a bit narrow for a tire bead 195 but it will work. Many people have run this tire on stock 14 "rims Miata with good results.
Food for thought - There is not much choice of performance tires in 14 "size and the situation will probably worsen over time. A lot of people were displaced up to 15" wheels in order to have a better selection of performance tires. Something to think about if you have your car for a while.
