Use the stock backspace with 14" wheels, as the tie rod will hit ones  
that have more backspace.  I'd also suggest using 14x6, rather than  
14x7.

Just use a 15x6 with stock backspace.  The larger diameter may clear  
the tie rod if you really want wider wheels, but unless you go wider  
than a 225 you don't need them.
