First post boyos!

Im super exited to have joined this site, but I have a nagging question that I figured you guys would be the best to ask. I've just gotten a 2003 toyota corolla with very large tires (205's). I would really like to run 175's or smaller to cut down on rolling resistance. Ive like to consider myself a fairly economic driver (I get 41-42 highway vs epa 36 mpg) but would like to get the extra oomph that i feel skinny tires would provide. I really dont want the tires to be stretched inwards from the bead, and was wondering if you guys know of a tire and wheel combo that would work, or a site, or a forum link that you could point me towards.

Best Regards
