thanks for any info......clive
They'll have a total diameter of 64.5cm compared to the 63.56cm diameter of 175/80/14's, which just fit. You'll probably need to bash the front bulkheads in a bit with a lump hammer and don't lower the suspension too much, but you might just get away with them. Try borrowing a pair of wires fitted with 175/80/14's and see if you've got another 5mm to play with.

Here's a useful tool for comparing tyre sizes -

Good luck!
