From a legal stanpoint? Do you have inspections that require stock equipment? Might want to be careful there.--other than that from a mechanical standpoint the outside diameter of the tire needs to be real close and honestly it sure sounds like youd be there. Maybe about ten milimeters off in total--but that would represent about 3 mile per hour difference in speedometer reading. not bad. Hope I helped. Thanks
These cars come with 195 -70 14 and 195 65 15 tires. They even come with 205 55 16 on the Z24 car. The system is identical on all these tire sizes and the speedo will be the same regardless of which one you use. In your car do not use the 60 but make sure the tirs is a 195 65 15 and you will be good to go.
The circumference of the tire is identical on all 3 of these sizes.

stock is generally the 235/75r15, but if you can find someone to install them or do it yourself easily be able to run 31x10r15 for a little meatier look, this would involve a slight trim of the front skirt edge on some models or depending on your suspension. Any tire shop would easily be able to tell you stock tires or what would fit, but most major retailers (walmart, fleetfarm) will not install ANY tire not listed as factory. so you would have to find a private shop then.

We do not have inspections that require stock equipment. Thank you VERY much for your help!
New tires will be a bit wider and stand a bit taller...I'd be careful that they will not interfere with edges of wheel-well, especially at the front where body roll while turning can cause unwanted contact.
