I know they do this on the Minis all the time.
They go from stock 10" wheels to 13" Sprite wheels with 205/50s on them.
I'm sure a 14" chevy 4 lug rim will work with a 205 profile tire.
I had 205s on 13" rims and the car looked ridiculous, sort of like a
rubberband for a tire on the rim and a whole lot of space between the
wheel and the fenders.
Just check exact tire heights for 14" rims before you buy them.
Good luck
