This is what we have come up with and thinking about getting for our 14s. Will all the sizes (in 14s of course) fit? Which would you suggest? The 215s are a little cheaper and probably would be my choice. I think the 215s might be TOO much tire. Anyone, have an opinion?

I want to get those also. They are 205 50 14, but what do you all think about the 215 60 14? I have my own opinions, but I want to hear what YOU all think.

215/60/14 is 24.2" tall roughly.That is a big tire for a low horsepower car assuming you have a roughly 200whp D16.I would go 205/50/14 which is around 22" tall a good size for moderate hp levels.
