te72 with celica/supra rims, tire size

My father and I had some old celica/supra rims and tires from an '85 Toyota Celica GT-S, and we decided to put them on my 1981 Corolla SR-5. The tires are 215/60r14s and although they look awesome on the car, they don't clear the fenders in the front when the body travels. Now my father thinks he can solve the problem with new struts (I'm pretty sure we still have the originals in ) but I'm pretty sure I'll just need to buy new rubber for the front. What tire size would you guys recommend for it? 205/60? maybe go 195 in the front and keep the 215 in the back for that drag look?

We are going to try rolling the fenders first, but most likely I'll just buy two tires with the size micro suggested hopefully next week when my paycheck comes in. thanks for the feedback
