no no no no no no. You don't put lo-pro tires on stock rims. Its against the rules and it looks ghey. When your rims get bigger, your tires get smaller. thats it.

Save your money, you would spend and get yourself a set of Wheels.

your question has been answered above, just to add, you don't want to put low profile tires on stock wheels. generally 50 series sidewall and below is considered "low profile". you will want to keep 205/55/16 on stock se wheels to keep the spedometer accurate, or 215/50/16 at the widest. find some new, wider, and larger diameter wheels if you want low profile tires.

you could get some 300z tt wheels, they look stock and are 7.5/ 8.5" wide would allow you to run lower profile tires. or just keep the 205/55 on the se wheels and get some tires with stiffer sidewalls.

get the SE wheels widened to like 10j and get 205/45/16 thats probably going to yield you the shortest sidewall. but its not practical.

just out of curiosity, why do you like the stock look?

rx7's have 8" wide wheels from the factory lol. just get some other nissan wheels with better tires, most people won't be able to tell it's not factory. plus, a lowered s14 on se wheels looks like a sinking battleship/ floating spaceship.
