Sorry to read about your loss, hope you are OK.
Thanks for the keychain info, I'll shorten mine.

FWIW, I see better economy on my 175/65R15 steel rimmed winter tires with non-aero hub caps than my OEM 185/55R16 alloy rimmed summer tires.
I feel you should not go wider especially if you also raise the pressure.

Go for the best quality tires you can get. I lost a car due to crappy tires which wasn't too bad as the car was crappy too ('86 4-gear single cam deasel Rabbit, acceleration timed per calendar).
The only reason to get wider than OEM would be if that allows for better tires.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
