Default alternate tire size?

I have a 2000 EX Coupe with absolutely no ground clearance. Can I put an oversize tire on this car to squeeze a little more clearance out of it? Factory calls for P185/65 R 14.

If you want ground clearance, the way to do it is to change your suspension. If you lowered your car with aftermarket springs, get stock springs or other aftermarket springs that don't drop your car as much. Don't use oversized tires; they will just rub on your wheel wells and make your car accelerate slower.
