I am looking to get a larger size tire for my winter rims to avoid the bicycle tire look. Wondering if I can go any wider with all stock suspension. Tires that are on the rims came with my car stock. Thanks
You can but your speedo will be off, with stock suspension you can run up to 215's easily, but you should go up to 16's at least for that. Besides, the "bicycle tire look" means that all the weight of your car is being directed to a small contact area, meaning your car will sink into the snow onto the pavement so you actually have traction, so smaller narrower tires = better winter handling
Easier to just get a rim/tire package there....

+1 ^ that way you can just keep swapping your sets from summer to winter. I did when I had my Sentra, made life so much easier, and in the long run is cheaper too than having to pay every 5-6 months to get your tires swapped out
205/75R14s....
Is this what your looking for? 215/70 or 225/70s might fit but the side wall on the 205/75 are close to the rear strut already, I have zero clearance issues with them though. I think a 195/75 or 205/75 would be better in the winter than a 215 or wider tire but up to you.
