tire sizes
Has anyone tried using 205/60/14 on their factory or aftermarket wheels? I know that 14's are really small, but I just thought that I would ask. I was wanted to use this set-up for the winter.

for Winter 14's
I'd suggest 185/65-14's or 190/60-14's
If you go here : http://www.wired.com/animation/c/ramon_oli...ivera/hare_cut/
You can punch in your OEM size (195/55-15's)
And try different sizes.
Why do you want 205's for the winter? You want skinnier tires for snow!
As well I'm running with 185/65-14's and it's almost BANG ON with the stock size of 195/55-15's
As well, how wide are your 14's? Can they even fit 205's?
Hope that helped

If you try to fit wider tires on narrow wheels the tire will taco. This means that the tire will not have a flat contact patch, it will fold and your handling will be worse than if you stayed with the stock wheel tire. That is if you are using stock width wheels. Call the tirerack those guys really are as good as everybody says.
