There's a useful calculator here, which works out well for my 195R15 replacement tyres... Worth a look

Hope it's useful

I've got a feeling that those are the ones that Slobbo is running on his van, I'd ask him.

Yep that is what I was running. Got some new Hankook 225/75 R16 Dynapro ATs. Done a few hundred miles on them already and well chuffed. I run 40psi in the rear and 38 in the fronts.

Do they do those in a R14? Van all fixed now and went through the M.O.T. yesterday with no problems :D

Afraid not. Start at 16" if I am not mistaken. Good news on the MOT.

I've just modified my arches to try and cure that very problem.
