It's tire time, and this tired old thread raises its ugly tread again.

Has anyone put 195/60's on the stock MGB rims (Rostyle)?  I find that 
185/70's are almost exactly the same diameter as the original 165's, and 
195/60's are 3.8% smaller.  (A 195/65 would be again about the right 
diameter, but I've never seen one.)  The 195/70's would be about 2.5% 
larger than original diameter.

Anyway, I've seen the 195/60's on minilites, but are the stock rims too 
narrow to safely use them?
