Default 98 dodge neon rt

I have a 98 dodge neon rt that i race on dirt. I run 196/60/14 on it now but i wanna go to 15's for a ltl bit taller gear but can barley get my finger between the top of the tire and strut now. Does any one knw how i can run 195/60/15 or if not any other make and model struts that fit so i can run 15's

At the track that I run at it has nice long straights and pretty high bank turns and I'm running 185/65 R14. By the end of the straights she's screaming. I tried running 195/70 R14 but it rubbed a little too much in the turns and wanted to bog down too much.

Wow didnt even think 195.70.14 was possible im on 195.60.15 before tho i was 185.60.14 could hardly keep from burning them off it would spin em into 4th gear lol right now im thinking of changing it again cuz i get one wheel peels and hard pressed to get 2nd gear and my 5th gear is useless until 130 140 kmh
Would 185.65.14 work on 97

I'm running 185/65 R14 on both of my 1998 race cars. Right now it's the best setup that works for me. Not sure if I want to go up to 15s. I've got a set of them might have to give them a try one weekend.

Makes a notable difference in driving and handeling improving wise but im not liking is the ****y burn outs and possible lag if u try 15 let me no wut u think could use another look at it lol
