Keeping the gearing as it is will probably keep it more drivable anyhow.
I run 175/70r15 tires on 12 lb 2006 Mini "7-hole" 15" rims. TALL as an HF, I bet. The HF had only 13" rims.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
