 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.
