I have 165/70/14 on the rims and there is only approximately 1/4"
clearance. I think the offset is different on the stock steel rims.
What is everyone else using? I want to use 60 series for all that hi
speed cornering action I get while commuting. (on & off ramps mostly)

Bruce,
The 185/60-14s will fit on the stock wheels. I have 185/70-14's on stock
late model wheels and they fit. Not too much clearance but they never rub.
