Tire Size Question
I am lowered on TRD shocks and springs. I want to buy a set of snow tires and wheels from a 1990 Mazda Miata. They are 195/60-14's. I am aware that they may rub a little bit, but I just wanted to make sure these would fit at least well enough to get me through the winter. Comments? I think the offset is +45.

I just took off my 195 summers, and put my 175 winters on.
My concern (just my gut talking) would be 195 being a bit fat. I personally prefer the skinnier tire when it comes to cutting into the snow. |

Stock tire diameter (185/60/15) is 23.9 inches, the tire you listed is 23.2 inches. Your speedo will read faster than you are really traveling and your miles will rack up a bit faster, but you shouldn't rub.
