Tire size calculator

As long as the outside diameter is the same you can use any size wheel that fits over the brake calipers (for the Fit the smallest size wheel is a 14", anything smaller will interfere with the caliper). Play around with it, you can use 195/40/18 tires (if you can find them) if you want to go with bigger rims. Won't affect the odometer or speedometer one bit.

As far as mpg is concerned if you go to snows you'll always get lower mileage. Not much, I'm seeing 1mpg less.
It seems like going from 175/65/15 to 185/60/15 is the least change. From 24" to 23.7". 60mph to 59.5mph. Could there be something better, or exact?
