I don't think so. GSX brakes are too big for 14's you have to have 16's or higher.

Why? 14x6 would give you horrible handling characteristics. No way in hell I would autox with 6" wide rims.

I could still throw on a 215 tire...which is what I'm running on my 7" rim right now.

Yeah but 215 45's on a 17" tire are a good tire size for handling. 215's on a 14" tire would be like 215 85's to compensate for the small diameter rim and you'd be riding on balloons.

I don't need to keep my tire size the same. I'd run a 225/40/14 if I could find it, who cares about the speedo on the track. You should see the low profile fat ass tires these guys in Miata's run on. And they rock the party all day at the track.
