Stock tires were 25.5" to 26" diameter. 205/60-14 are only 23.6". Just by going to the correct diameter tire he will gain around 1" of ground clearance, minimum.
I rocked a set of headman headers from 2000-2016. Patched them up multiple times, ran multiple tire sizes,etc. eventually cranked up the bars for that sweet high water look. If taller tires worked for your ride that's awesome. swingingdart sounds like he is going to spend a couple hundred on new tires expecting his problem to be solved. I'm saying with the autozone coupon you can pick up a set of uncoated dougs for $350.00. little more for $ for welding on new collectors.
