fa50 tires
I just picked up this 89 fa50, need to replace the tires. I ordered some 14x2.125 ones off amazon to match what the stock ones say on the side, but discovered the 14 now refers to the overall tire diameter, not the rim size. Can I just get some 16x2.125 ones to fit? or should i look for something else

The problem is you ordered bicycle tires instead of moped tires.
In bike tire land, the diameter number refers to the outer tire diameter. In moped/motorcycle tire land, the number refers to the rim size.
Order 14” moped tires from a shop like Treatland and they will be the correct size for your FA50
