205 <- your tire width
55 <- aspect ratio
16 <- wheel diameter size.

I have no idea what does 88v stand for, maybe for the year of the car??

maybe that means the rate of the tires, and 88v mean some kind of speed that you can take your wheels, iono im just guessing, so anyone can correct me, you can do so

welll I believe the normal NA came with 15 inch rims so if your car has the 16" sticker then it is most likely a GTUs. Whether it is a 90 or an 89 cannot be figured out without the Vin.

90 will have the VIN stamp on the firewall, with one letter crossed out and replaced with another, I believe the K is crossed out and replaced with an L.

i got a gtus also. The wheel/tire size sticker on the door is gone, but the 4.3 diff aluminum hood, tII brakes, and manual everything is there.
unfortunately the body has a really dinged up rear driver quarter. ;-(

ok, then why do they still make the decal for the car? http://www.mazdatrix.com/n-7.htm
mazdatrix uses a mazda part number with the numbers just switched around a little.
