Simply NO
You could try, but you will find it very difficult to inflate.
In the 70's when the 16.5" truck tire was introduced, many tire technicians wore a 16.5 tire when they tried to mount them on a 16" wheel. Not pretty.
Tire sizes have to match the wheel diameter as well as wheel width.

That tire will not install on a 14 inch rim.
The last 2 digits of the tire size are the required rim size.
Any tire size ending in "14" will fit a 14 inch rim.
The P185/65R/15 ends in "15" and is for a 15 inch rim.

Seems to me that some people don't check the previously asked questions before submitting their own (repeat) questions! Naturally the 15 inch tire will not mount on a 14 inch rim. The same goes for other sizes that end in 12, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 and 24. They have to match the rim sizes!

P is for passenger car, 185 is the width of the tread,65 is the height of the tire 65% of the tread 15 is the diameter of the rim so a 15 inch tire cannot fit on a 14 and so on

a 15 inch tire wont seal on a 14 inch rim.it has to either a 15 inch rim and a 15 inch tire or a 14 inch tire on a 14 inch rim.

No it needs to be the same as the rim. 14 to 14 ...15 to 15

If your wheels are 14" then you have to mount 14" tires. A tire shop won't even allow that type of tire to be mounted on a wheel that's not the correct size.
