the offset of the Rivie's will drive what tire fits. If you have the 914 offset wheels then you can probably run 185 or 195s. If you have the bug offset I've heard 165s are pretty much all that you can fit. I've never tried this on Rivieras so this is just what I remember seeing other folks mention here.
Good luck. |

Empis (bug offset) 195/60-15
Real Fuchs same size 195/60-15 . Plus I hear the 205/50-15 is the cats meow. My rear fender has rolled edge Empis 205/60-15. I can get my pincky almost inbetween. I am a fan of Kumho Ecsta. |
