RX-7 Convertible tire size
I've been looking all over the house for my RX-7 book but of course it's no where to be found when I want it, so now I have to ask a stupid question.
What size tires does a 88 RX-7 convertible with the BBS wheels take? I've got a set of tires from a 95 Camry and was curious if they would fit.

What size are my wheels?
The stock sizes all have an offset of 40mm or 40 ET and are:
14x6 w/ 114.3x4 bolt pattern (Base, Luxury, 87.5-88 SE)
15x6 w/ 114.3x5 bolt pattern (GXL, Sport, GTU, 91 coupe)
15x6.5 w/ 114.3x5 bolt pattern (convertible)
16x7 w/ 114.3x5 bolt pattern (Turbo, GTUs, Infini IV)
In addition please see below in this thread for stock wheel type and weight.
On the same vein, the stock tire sizes are:
14x6 = 185/70HR14
15x6 & 15x6.5 = 205/60VR15
16x7 = 205/55VR16

Plus the sidewall of the tire increases from the stock 4.8" to about 5.2"... a pretty sizable difference
