60 series tires are too low on that car. I suggest at least a 195/70R14.
You might be able to fit a 205/70R14 or a 195/75R14. Regardless of what size you choose, you might want to inspect several different tire-brands, as within a specific tire-size, there can be a significant variation between different brands.
As for raising the suspension, unless you're dealing with sagged springs, any significant height increase at the springs will mess up your camber settings.

Happy Motoring, Mark
