    If you search "tire size", there are quite a few long helpful threads full of people with the same question, I would try those first.

      Is it an efi or carb car? You will take a power hit going large diameter. Youll notice it more on a carbed car since they have a lot less horsepower.
      So do you want larger rim and wider tire but close to the same dismeter like this?

      Or go all southern american like this?

        165/55/14 works great for a stock motor car.

          165/55R14 would be my recommendation as well, with a 14x6 wheel.

              There have been a lot of threads about this. More reading and learning than you could want to do about it here
              What is your goal? Drag racing, autocross, daily driving but better looks and handling, hypermiling....
              If its the second last option there the 165/55/14 achilles tire works great, is super cheap and available online shipped to your or your tire shops door.
