On old cars there is a tendency to put on tires which are much too wide for the rims, 165 is really too wide for the stock wheels on a 544, I had 165 on 5 inch rims on a PV and that worked beautifully, I have had 185's on 5.5inch rims which was fine, for a 195 you really need a six inch rim, I had 205/65-14 on the back of the PV at one stage on Ford rims I think about 6.5 inchs they fitted ok, slowed the car down though.
