Most of my non-winter driving ( about 85%- 90%) is highway on clean dry pavement at steady speed.
I'm thinking that the 16 inch rims on the rear wheels will help improve MPG. Since I have to buy new tires anyway, why not get larger rims and tires for the back ?

With a vehicle that new , I'd recommend using the same tire size on all four corners to avoid confusing any ABS/traction control features. Or rather, stick with the oem's ratio for front-rear tire sizes. If they're the same size and you want to go bigger, increase them by the same amount. If they're different sizes and you want to make the back bigger, do some math to figure out how big you need to make the front. Should keep the computer happy. And use the search feature.
