185/70-14 will fit - however it will lengthen your gearing slightly, cause your speedometer to read 6.4% lower than your actual speed (i.e. when your speedometer indicates 60mph, you will actually be traveling at ~64mph), and cause your odometer to rack up mileage 6.4% slower.
If you do not mind these effects, go ahead and buy that size. If you do mind, use the stock size or something with a comparable overall diameter.
This tire calculator may help you.
