Hi! Currently I have 16 inch alloy wheels on my 2005Accord Hybrid and would like to get the low fat profile look. What size wheels (17"?) and tires should I get to achieve that without any fender rubbing problems on turning? Thanks!

Will the bigger tires get worse mileage?
Yes. Wider tires mean reduced fuel economy. Ever notice what the tire size is on a Toyota Prius? 185/65-15 is the answer, a narrow and tall tire by today's standards. A Camry which has similar interior space as the Prius comes with 205 width tires. The smaller Corolla has 195s.
