i got wheels what size tires to get?

I won the auction n the volk wheels, the ones that most people dislike. photo album If you saw the volk racing wheels thread then you know which ones I'm talking about.
So, now it breaks down to what tires to get. They are 14" with a 6" front and 7" wide rear. I was thinking 195/60/14's all the way around. any feedback on that?

You know Porsche cars have larger rear tires (I think its cool). I would put 205's 50/55 on the front and 225's, 50/55 series on the back. It will make understeer more noticeable but it will look good. Doing any slolum courses? If so go with same size tire all the way but you will end up with more flex up front being 6'' inch rims.
