Why not keep the cheap, abundant, reliable and fuel efficient 15" tires that come on the car stock?

In any event those tires probably do fit, a few simple measurements would verify it, but they would cost more and have little benefit otherwise.

If they did not fit you would need to expand your wheel wells, but more likely a few spring spacers or air shocks would accomplish the same thing depending on what way you are having trouble.

As toward lean burn that is usually quite involved on an O2 controlled car such as yours. There are methods of tuning your paticular year and there is also a wideband device that allows you to lean the mix manually once you get on the road.

Likely more cost than its worth though.
