Biggest tyres available for 14" rims are 27". You really need a body lift kit to run these though.
It's very unlikely you have adjustable height front struts, so you can't wind them up. If you want some extra heigh from the front suspension you need to get new springs.

almost all my subies have had adjustable front, just look below your front struts base plate that the spring sits in. if there are two nuts hanging under there just wind them up (22mm i think) its not much you gain but every bit helps.
