if you put a lower profile on the 14 inch rim you wil have some issues
1 the cars speedo will be inacurate and ovr read
2 you will need to l;ower the car more to get the car to look lowered (as in the wheels to the arches)
3 the car will sit closer to the floor meaning if you do lower it youll get severely reduced ground clearance

however its not all bad as the smaller tyre wil give a better acceleration
