A friend of mine has the grand am mentioned in the title but he was wondering if he can down-size the rims and tires from 15" rims w/ P215/60R15 tires to some 14" rims with appropriate tires? He wants to do this to improve mileage so any info would help, thanks.
 
You can do it but the speedometer will be completely off if the tire for the 14in rim is not the same overall height as the tire for the 15in rim... Also hes probably not saving much in terms of gas mileage unless he gets lightweight rims but it wont make a noticeable difference.
