Default switching to a set of winter tires got a question

i have an old set of 14 inch rims laying around i was going to put some tires on them and throw them on the si. Would 195-70/14 be the correct conversion size?

Try tirerack.com or google tire size conversion. It's better to stay reasonably close to the stock tire circumference for various reasons.

14's definitely wont fit, neither will 15's.

Smallest rim you can go for winters is 16".

He has an Si:

But I'm sure someone else could use the info on here for their DX/LX/EX.
