165/65 is the standard size for a 1400

You could also use 185/60 as per the 1600

You could also go smaller sidewall if you want have it lower.

Fuel economy?

You'll be doing marginally lower revs for any given vehicle speed with larger wheels but the different is very minor indeed, certainly not enough to notice.

Tyre pressures make a bigger difference.
