195-75-14 is exactly the right size to use on a 245 (wagon). I'm running these on our '93 245 and have checked the speedometer against our portable Garmin's speed reading. The car's speedometer is right on the money compared to the Garmin.

Wagons originally came with 185/80-14 tires which are almost impossible to find now. 195/75-14 tires calculate out to almost exactly the same circumference.
