Accord Hybrid wheel/tires

Hi! Currently I have 16 inch alloy wheels on my 2005Accord Hybrid and would
like to get the low fat profile look. What size wheels (17"?) and tires
should I get to achieve that without any fender rubbing problems on turning?
Thanks!

Re: Accord Hybrid wheel/tires

Will the bigger tires get worse mileage?

Yes. Wider tires mean reduced fuel economy. Ever notice what the tire
size is on a Toyota Prius? 185/65-15 is the answer, a narrow and tall
tire by today's standards. A Camry which has similar interior space as
the Prius comes with 205 width tires. The smaller Corolla has 195s.
