This could be a massive noob question but I am looking at new tires in the next year and am wondering if I am going to be hurting my FE by up sizing the tires.

Current:

195/65/15

Prospective new tires:

205/55/16

Is it that going to make a major difference in my FE? Otherwise I will just upgrade the existing tires with the stock rim.

Thanks.
