One thing you can do is downsize the wheel to 14" if your brakes allow it, go with a lightweight wheel at that, and possibly go to say a low rolling resistance 175/65R14 tire which is common on an older Corolla. Just make sure the tire meets your car's speed and weight rating.

I highly advise against going with the old VW tires for all the reasons already mentioned.
