As Cornishbx says if the proper tyres for your model of ZX is 175/65 x 14 then the nearest tyre size is 185/60 x 14. I've kept my original Spare tyre in the cage which is used for emergencies only.
There are a number of sites that can convert tyre sizes and compare the speedo errors, which in this case the error is only 0.9% which is well within the recommended error of 2.5%.
If you go wider in width, then you may have problems with the tyres rubbing the arches and will have to change the aspect ratio from 60 to something like 55 to keep the error within the limits.
