[Title is wrong, should read 165/60/14]

As above, I am looking at getting smaller tyres for my RFX's and I think that 165/60/14 tyres would be the best. Before getting any I wanted to know if they would be OK as I know nothing about tyre sizes etc.

Here is a pictures of my car at the moment:

Currently i'm running 175/65/r14's. Scott I don't know what size they are as it doesn't say anything on the wheels.

Cheers Peester, they are the sort of look I want but it looks like they are a bit "baloony" as they overhang the wheel if you get what I mean.

Ended up going with the 165/60/14 tyres as I had them and they were free. Here are some pictures of them fitted, a very big improvement!
