504 tire upgrade

My 504 could use some new tires, and I find that:

1) there isn't much variety in 175-14's any more, and
2) the tires available in 175-14 aren't the highest-performance ones.

So I'm toying w/the idea of 195/70-14's, or 195/65-15's on 505 wheels. I've
checked out a tire size calculator on the Web, and 195/65-15's are a very
close match for 175-14's in rolling radius. Would I have any clearance
problems w/either of these sizes?
