195 or 205/60's, will be a great fit still retaining the original rolling diametre.

sorry i took so long -20.5 i measured?

2nd vote for 195/60 or 205/60, will be good and an easyish size to find. If you can't find any tyres with white lettering you can buy white tyre marker pens and colour the letters yourself. I've done it before and it came up pretty good.

 

If your car is pretty low you might get some rubbage. Could fit 185/60 if rubbing is an issue.

I run 185/60's on my 14x7's and they're a good fit. Not oversize but not undersized.

 

Would help avoid scrubbing a tad compared to a 195 or a 205

Is the car lowered?

 

205/60 tyre on a 14x7 -20 rim will scrub stock guards if the car is low.

 

I have 175/65 on 14x7s with 0 offset and i still get some minor scrubbing on the rear. Its pretty low though.. oh and it has 5mm spacers so more like -5 offset.

 

185 would be the go. That what i will be getting next.

 

What ever you do let us know how it goes. I love white tyre writing! Wanna see pics!
