I got now H 195/60x14 on an original 6.5x14. should I replaced it to V? what's the max tyre size I can put on these rims?

A 205/60-14 will fit with no problems, and there
are still some decent performance tires available
in that size (Sumitomo HTR100, Yokohama AVS-i,
Dunlop D60A2). Search the Tire Rack website
for this size. You can also fit a 225/50-14
race tire onto the stock 6½ BBS wheel. The
stock size for the BBS 14x6½ wheel was 195/65-14,
not 195/60 (which is a little too short).
