<VV> 1964 Monza Convertible Tire/Wheel Questions

 First, I admit that I know virtually nothing about tire and wheel sizes.
I've checked the Miata tire size calculator so I think I understand that for
the most part.  A friend has tried to explain the backspacing concept to me
and I understand that for the most too.  I'm hoping someone with
firsthand experience could answer a few questions for me.

I've seen a lot of VV posts addressing LM tire/wheel sizes but not as much
concerning EM's and most of what I've seen is over my head.

I have access (as in free) to four new 185/70/14 tires on 98 Mitsubishi
Gallant wheels (4-hole).

Taking into consideration safety issues and the tires possibly rubbing the
suspension or fenders, here are my questions.

Question #1: Will these tires and wheels fit my EM ?

Question #2: Whats' widest tire that can safely run on an EM without any
modifications ?

Question #3: Will any Datsun 14" 4-hole wheel fit my EM?

Question #4: Has anyone ever used Mitsubishi 14" 4-hole wheels ?

Thanks for your help.
