I had that question also. I was thinking of 235x17x45 though. I'm I wrong in think that puting a shorter tire on the car woould reduce MPG.

Tire Size Comparison.....Stock vs. Plus Size

Specification/ Sidewall/ Radius/ Diameter/ Circumference/ Revs/Mile
205/50-17...... 4.0in..... 12.5in..... 25.1in...... 78.8in............ 804
235/45-17...... 4.2in..... 12.7in..... 25.3in...... 79.6in............ 796

Actually for all intents and purposes (MPG), the tire sizes are the same.
