Let us first know what Tires size you like. You can also put the combination in a calculator https://tiresize.com/calculator/
205/60/14
6x14 offset +42
As OEM
Thomas, OEM fitment for the UK is
205/60/14
5.5 x 14 offset +40
(195/60/14 will work just as well, makes minimal difference to rolling radius and it's an easier size to find with a lot more choice).

Dave good you have corrected me.
OEM fitment for the german is the same.
Sorry perhaps i am to old now. The license plate on my Rx7fb told It: OG TA 26 Old Guy with Twelve A bought it 26 years old
Remember that in my opinion insurance company in UK need telling you have modified to 195's
There should be no problems, but if it emerges later that you have modified from standard........not worth the risk.

I want to put modgies on my car. I haven't found anywhere in the UK that will do them, apart from the cragar ones but they don't come with the right offset.
The tyres I'm not so fussed about - I don't have anything against the chinese though.
