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.

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)

In addition please see below in this thread for stock wheel type and weight.
On the same vein, the stock tire sizes are:

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