I also have a set of Advans A3A, size is 14x6'' +6 ET, I think it was the most common size for these. Maybe yours are the same? Yokohama kept producing them in that specific size specially for the AE86 until year 2000 (this kind of thing won't happen in today's worls for sure ). But of course they also produced them in many sizes up to 8'' in other periods before sticking to that specific size.

I love these wheels, btw... I replaced my OEM -and heavy- steelies with them and they helped handling and turn in noticeably. Steering is also a bit lighter. At 4 Kg per wheel they're fairly lightweight. Really impressed, even with crappy old rubber.

Upholstery work looks amazing, as the whole car does

I didn't know that detail about the A3A, very interesting! I'm pretty sure mine are also that size, it's fitted with 185/55 R14 which isn't particularly wide and they still look meaty enough from the sides. Was thinking about adding a set of Work Equip 01 in wider dimension eventually, next year or so.

Really looking forward to getting it legal soon, didn't find time to go to chip-racing this week, but will go next week.
