tires size question

I have some old civic studded tires I want to use now.....
They are 175 / 70 R 13 and I want to put them on my Toyota 99 Corolla

Current tires are 185 / 85 R 14.

I know its probably not recommended but is is doable???

i don't even know if a 13" wheel will clear the front brakes.

For me...i wouldn't go below 14"...but the 175/70 seems ok, but too bad it is 13".

if you can, try them anyways... as said above, you may have problems clearing the front disc brakes, if they dont you can always just sell them and buy something that fits.
