It depends on thrust.
Small size propeller used in higher kv motor and large size used in lower kv motor.
You can try small propeller

The maximum size of prop a 1400kv motor can take on a 3cell LiPo is 7-8". (Current draw would be around 15-17A)

From the data sheet, 8x4 looks like a good choice.

Ordered 8*4.5 as 8*4 props weren't available.

It depends on the max current that motor can handle. I had a 1400kv 3S setup with 1045 prop but the max motor current was within 20A.
