You'll be looking for something with less sidewall... I already moded my suspension to the next stage, and the 205/70R14's on my stock rallyes 'wallow' on the sidewalls when doing the slalom on the highway....

I had 215/60-14s on mine for years and I loved those. Wouldn't go any wider than that on those rims.

I would seriously think about 15" or larger rims. Decent tires for 14" are getting really hard to find.

Yep, had to wait a few days to get a set of Yokohama's in 14's... I thought the desk clerk was going to faint... "You sure you don't have 15's buddy?"
