Tire size on a 1996 Camry

[RAV4EVR]

I have a DX with 14 inch stock Rims. Current tire size is 195/70R14

I know the wheel wells are designed for 15 wheels and a much bigger tire (i.e. V6 models)

The shop is not allowing me to get bigger than the size mentioned above but I am arguing with him that I should be able to get a bigger size tire if the wheel well is designed for a bigger tire...

Any of all y'all have a bigger tire on your 14 inches?

The recommeneded for 14s is 195/14/70. Why do you want to go bigger?

if you want a larger tire, you need a larger rim. unless you dont mind your wheels looking like they were stolen from a 4x4 vehicle.

I just think bigger tires look nice. I want to keep the original rims that manufacturer put on. I don't want to do something outrageous either. All I need to know if I go up one more level as far as width and height is concerned, would it cause big problems...

Thanks for your input.

It would be less gas efficent. Also the tire place won't guarenttee it.
