Looks pretty spot on.
You will have have to source other types as that tyre is discontinued.
225/60/14 is the stock tyre. Not many makes available.

Hmm, I didn't say that! They ran 225/60R14's all round stock! 
Umm, I cant really see any issues with them rubbing at only 215... is anything broken or out of kilter possibly?

You're not trying hard enough if thats the lowest price you can find, try to find some Hankook Super Dynamics! They are SO old school, and have the white writing on the sides.
Mate paid $120 each for 235/60R14's.
