The only "knobbly" off road tyre I know of in 14" is the blackstar Guyane, I have them on my syncro in 15" and they are bloody noisey and I dont think you would really want to drive a lot of miles on them...
Other than them, I think all you can go for are "winter" tyres in 195 or 205 14... but not many in thise sizes anymore..
Going to 15" rims opens up a large amount of tyres.. but you cant go too big as they will touch the bodywork..
I presume you are going for the "imitation" offroad look...

grip for what??? on the road knobblies are not anywhere near as good as road tyres... if you need a bit better grip for campsites etc, then a set of "winters/mud and snow" might work better, but still a compromise on the road in summer...
If you want better road grip, Continental Vanco's in 185R14 work very well until they are nearly worn out...
then get a pair of snow chains for thise sticky campsites etc...
