your offset should be pretty bad but they should fit under.

I would think they would be a bit too tall.

146.25 tall for the 75's and the 65's would be 120.25 if you went with a 195 tire at 65 aspect you would still gain another 6.5mm of height. But the tire is gonna be 26mm taller on the sidewalls. Then if you are counting height in total

14" wheel - 355mm + 146mm = 501mm. 50cm
currently you are at 355+120 =470mm.

Its a 9.38% increase in size overall
