Depending on your tastes a 225/50/15 on the back fits and looks well on a 7" wheel.

With a 14" wheel on the front I'm not sure but a 205 or 195 x 60 or 50 seems about right. I use 205/50/15 on the front.

Smaller diameter tires will give a performance , braking , and handling boost.

You speedometer is likely to be inaccurate .

Here's a pic of mine -

I also had 14s all around on it at first . They were Buick Rallye wheels and I think they were 6'" front and 7" rear with 225/60s and 195 or 205/60 fronts . Here's a pic-
