You could keep the same wheels. It would only be 20mm of stretch on each side, and with tall sidewalls. People do this all day long with lowered cars and have no problem.
Look up MetroMPG's tire test. He found that even super skinny space saver spares had worse RR than stock Honda Insight LRR tires.
