Yes, but they are 16 inch, I would bet there are a lot of choices for tires but they would have to be very low profile....
 
205/45R16's would fit nicely with a good solid shoulder width of wheel to tire. And is only a 1% difference in rolling diameter. But is a fairly low profile.
 
I am struggling finding new tires for my 14 inch rims. When I bought them years ago the shop where I bought them tried to talk me into 15 inch but i was too "thrifty". Now 7 years later there is a shortage of 14 inch tires readily available.

Do you think that would screw up the ride, or that much rubber muht overwhelm the suspension?
 
Less rubber than probably 15's. A lot more unsprung weight.
 
I was driving my 8 today and saw an Olds Cutless with 18 inch rims and it looked good. I bet it would look good. If I was not getting ready to try to buy my son his car I might consider it
 
Looks like they pulled the auction. Somebody must have done a direct deal.

The ride is stiffer. Low profile tires are also more susceptible to pothole damage.
