I think the reason most folks won't consider a tire that small is it
would look skinny. There's also a practical reason - it's very hard to
get a tire that small with enough load rating.
Since you say your concern is clearance, I'll echo the other folks who
say it shouldn't be. Ours currently has 225/70-14s with 6" wheels on
it, prior to that it had 205/70-14s on the stock rims. No problems.
