Need New Tires Soon 4003 is the production date..

[rustneversleeps]

88 325i vert bought last year and in need of some new tires.They look brand new except for all the cracks on the side wall and in the grooves.
I guess the PO didn't care about tires and his safety, production date is 4003 meaning week and year the tire was produced....
I like to use my stock bottle cap rims but very hard to find 195/65/14 plus i like to go a little wider .Can i get away with using 215/60/14 and will there be any rubbing turn to turn..
It's only 5mm in height difference,and 20mm wider right...
It's the width I'm worried about and will the speedo be off higher or lower then normal speed if i switch over to 215/60/14's...
thanks in advance...

I have used the 205/60R14 with no issues on an E30 myself. The problem is nobody makes that size anymore. The 215/60R14 may work and I do have a Riken Raptor HR available. You may need a little more negative camber to clear the fender lip.
If I can help let me know.
