nubbz,
have you read all the threads on taller tires?
The will really answer your question.

FACT: (on cars) taller tires will return better mpg (same rim...taller tire).

Please show the exact data you are quoting on the weight(size, brand etc)........something is VERY wrong there.
upsizing 18's was only 1 pound difference.
please do a search using my name mcrews q45 & kia sportage. Both of my threads discussed clearance.
It really is very easy to look and see the clearance on the top side of the tire. (again refer to my threads)
