I have a 2001 civic EX. Right now it has stock 15 inch rim that are 6 inches wide. I have 185/65-15 size tires on it. I'm looking to upgrade to a new set of rims but they are 6.5 inches wide and recommend 195/65-15 size tires. I'm wondering if I continue to use the old 185/65-15 tires on the new rims if I will continue to get the same mpg on the new rims as I am on the old?
