Not sure if you know, but the middle number is the aspect ratio. Its actually the sidewall height expressed as a percentage (of the width). That being said, not sure if you're set on any specific width, because that will affect things too...
...But checking http://www.tirerack.com I saw at least 4 lower profile 14" tires, in ascending order of O.D.:
185/55/14 ~22.0" O.D. (note: these are all R-compound auto-x/road race tires)
195/55/14 ~22.5" O.D.
185/60/14 ~22.7" O.D.
175/65/14 ~22.9" O.D.
FYI, 195/60/14 is ~23.2" O.D.
Note: these are all the mathematical calcuation of the O.D. from the tire size #'s, actual tires will vary from these values, sometimes between models/brands/etc. But usually they are pretty close. It's good to double check the actual size reported by the manufacturer.
