The tire diameter is what matters. It will change the revolutions per mile, and change the RPM at a given speed.
Low profile tires are not generally good for mileage nor are they cheap to buy. Keep that in mind as well. Stay with as narrow a tire as is recommended for the new rim.
Plug your info in here to see what will happen. this is one of many calculators on the web.
