1980 Cutlass 195/75R14?

Hello everyone!

We have a little problem. We want to order new wheels for our car.
Now the tire size is 205/65R14 but it's too small.
I have read that the original size is 195/75R14. Is it a true info? Or it will be better with 205/70R14 or something other size?
Thanks!

On this photo are 195/75R14 tire:

Are you changing tires and wheels, or just tires? All the tires you mentioned are really close to the same size, little taller or a little wider will not effect any issues.

Sorry, I was stupid: only tires.

These are the 205/65R14 tires. If I look at the photos or the car with the another size, there is a big difference (~10 % taller) for me. Some people say that we shoult buy 15 wheels, but we have perfect '14 rally wheels, and I think, the original size was too '14 (with 195/75R14 tires?).
In Hungary we can't buy same size tires, we can only order and our forint isn't so "hard" todays and the shipment is too expensive... So we can't change it easy, therefore I'm a little bit watchful.

You can use this simple calculator to tell the difference, it's not much.

A 215/70/14 should go right on and be a little easier to find.
