they'll fit but it'll increase ur overall tyre diameter from 528mm to 582mm.
pro: it may give you softer ride, reduce curb damage, fill up the wheel arch and lower the revs on motorways
cons: slight slugglish handling response, reduced acceleration, speedo reading may be lower than actual speed, tyre may foul with the inner splash guard
for normal driving it'll be fine

Thanks PollyP
This is for an attempt at the Mongol Rally so I would say it's as far from normal driving as you can get. ;-)
We'll be going over some very rough loose surfaces and I was considering using the Yokohama A035 tyres but the only 14" version they make are 175/65. The choice of suitable 165/60 tyres is pretty limited...
