Bootstrap carousel width and height

Are you trying to make it responsive? If you are then I would just recommend the following:

.tales {
  width: 100%;
}
.carousel-inner{
  width:100%;
  max-height: 200px !important;
}

However, the best way to handle this responsively would be thru the use of media queries like such:

/* Smaller than standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
@media only screen and (max-width: 959px) {}

/* Tablet Portrait size to standard 960 (devices and browsers) */
@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959px) {}

/* All Mobile Sizes (devices and browser) */
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {}

/* Mobile Landscape Size to Tablet Portrait (devices and browsers) */
@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px) {}

/* Mobile Portrait Size to Mobile Landscape Size (devices and browsers) */
@media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {}
