185/60R14
195/50R15

Have a look at a tyre size calculator.

As already said, use a tyre size calculator. Start with the stock wheel dimensions (rim size and tyre wall thickness) and it'll tell you the right size tyre wall to use depending on the size of the rim chosen to maintain approximately the same time overall circumference. IF you go bigger on alloys and maintain the tyre wall thickness your overall wheel circumference will be bigger meaning a) less clearance in the wheelarches and b) your speedometer will be even more inaccurate (you'll be going faster than the dial reads.
