Can anyone recommend a tire size for the stock 15" steel wheels? I would like to go as wide as possible, but not too tall. Car will be lowered. Additionally, is there any benefit to staggering the tires (smaller tires in front)? Sizes front vs. rear?

all your other cars have high HP and either loaded up front or in the rear. 914s respond very well to same size tires front and rear. if you stagger the tires, you will introduce more push in the front end and will need to make suspension changes/adjustments to rebalance the car. been there, done that with my 914-6 with 2.7L RS motor... 205s up front and 225s in the rear, needed more rear spring or softer front end to get it to turn in as well as when I was on 205s all the way around.
