Adrian are you looking for maximum performance or just good looks? If you're
going for looks then install whatever you want with a function be damned
attitude. If you want the best balance between grip, handling, and looks,
then I advise you to use a 15x6.5" rim and 195/50/15 tires. For road racing
and backroad blasting a 14x7" rim might be best with some 205/45/14 or
whatever. And, for autox you'll definitely want some 13x7 or 8" with
what? -some 225/40/13 or something like that? I forget the13" race sizes...

I think you'll have a real challenge getting those 14" tires to properly fit
over a 16" rim. You must have some serious upper body strength. :^)
