You can find some info on comparative diameters of 195R14 versus 205/70R14 here:

And a veru useful tire size calculator here:

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

While there are slight variations from one tire of the "same" size to another, a 195R14 is approximately 1/2" taller and 1/3" narrower than a 205/70R14.
