the question hasnt really been answered i see.

ur tyre profile really depends on the width of ur wheels. for example u cant just go for a thinner sidewall profile and mantain a same tyre width ie: 175/50/14. (u can theoractically, but the overall diamater of ur wheels+tyres will b reletively smaller - affecting the accuracy of ur speedo readings.)

if the rims u're refering is just the stock steelies. i suggest just stick wth the standard profile. it shud b cheaper anyway

if u really wish try this site

u might b able to get away wth 175/60/14 if u want slightly lower profile (or even smaller if u wish), just take note of the overall diameter of ur wheels+tyres.

imo, dont go for a smaller tyre profile unless u get larger wheels

u want good tyres? go and buy a good brand tyre of the same profile as stock

dont go smaller profile unless u get bigger wheels
