Go the lowest profile possible. Like 195 50 14s or something similar. Balloonish wheels ruin a car completely

Yer it's trying not to stuff up the speedo and get them under the guards using the tire size calculator 215/60/14 is to big but 195/60/14 is about right so is 205/60/14

I've got 195/45/14's hankooks, look pretty good but they are smaller diameter than a 175/70/13
If your worried about your speedo you could get away with a 185/55/14 without affecting your speedo enough to notice. Quite a few manufacturers do that size.
