With the right panasports you can fit a 205 50 15 which is wider than a 205 60 14.
My roadster has 205 50 15's and the rear fenders have been massaged ever so gently. I could probably fit 225's....
I did see those rims on ebay, but prefer the UL panasports in a 15" because of tire choices for the race car.
For some vintage events I run my Minilights which are a 205 60 14 Hoosier street TD.
As for tire choice Toyo RA 1's are awesome tires, I race on a set of shaved RA 1's. They last and they work great...

Keep in Mind the UL Panasports are for the track and not for the street. I know the distributor in the USA and they accept no liability if you have a wheel falure on the street with those wheels.

......... im not real sure yet, im kinda partial to yokohama or falkin. really like the vrs racing rubber i have on the triumph and the 300. right now they will be another roadster part in the back bedroom(im single and cant figure out why?)
Hmmm, you have this issue as well? Currently I have a set of Hayashi race wheels, one Panasport with a race tire on it (for the Alfa, its the spare that the hub cap didn't fit on for some reason.) 5 bikes, assorted bike wheels, A spare U20 head, a spare home made U20 comp oil pan that doesn't quite work, a spare Alfa valve cover waiting to be stripped and polished. Various other Alfa suspension parts as well.
Back to the tires, a 195/60 14 should work for you. Thats what I run on the street. My race wheels are 6.5s and my 195/55s rub a little on the outter fender. I'm looking for a really big soft ball bat to roll the fender with again. I think When I kill the V700s that are on the Alfa now I will try a set of the Hankook Ventus R-S2 Z212. I don't think I'm going to stay with the Falkens. The first generations were good but the 615s sidewall is way too flimsy. The choices for good 14 inch tires is getting pretty thin.
