I have a '94 legacy wagon and I've been told that mounting 205/75R14 tires on the stock steel 14" rims was a good move for the coming winters snows.

Does anyone have a tire size recomendation for 14" rims to raise the car a little without rubbing for winter driving? The tires/wheels would stay on the car year-round.

Looking at Yokohama Aegis LS4 which comes in:

size Dia dia diff

185/70SR14 24.2 0
185/75SR14 24.93 .36
195/70SR14 24.75 .27
195/75SR14 24.52 .66
205/70SR14 25.3 .55
205/75SR14 26.11 .95

Any thoughts as to how each size fits.

205's would not be good for your stock wheels, which are 5.5" wide. They're too wide.

You have 185/75-14's if I remember correctly for your stock tire size. That said, the best size to get for tires if you want to go a little wider would be 195/70-14.

Wider tires provide little advatage in snow and slush

Looking for ride height rather than width to keep the body off the snow and ice.

I'm looking for wider rims in 14 or 15" too.
