   Looking to purchase a set of tyres for my 14" alloys.
   I wanted to go wider and lower than standard for the track.
   Will 195/45/14 tyres work well and are Toyo R888 still the best if on a budget?
   
   Cheers

   185/55/14 Yokohama 048R's would be best for track use, iirc they're 194mm wide.

   I have R888s on 14''s and they work well.

   Personal preference is the yoko a048r as mentioned. I have used r888's as well and personally I thought they were utter shite, as long as the yokes are available I'd have them every time!
