I am keeping my winter tires and rims for next winter.But thanks for the interest.
So how have you found your mpg to change with the taller tires? Mine is a 2018 with 165/65r14's and I am getting around 42mpg overall. I also drive 25,000 miles per year. I do not want my mpg to drop
Mine is a 2018 with Kumho Solusr KH16 tires 185/65r14 and I get around 42 mpg which is great for me.

I would keep my eye on the weight of the tires if you go to a tire wider than 165. You could easily add 10-20 lbs. total rotating mass if you go to a 175 or 185 R14 tire.
If you worry about 10 to 20 lbs it depends on the weight of a person also. Doesn,t make that big of difference.10 to 20 lbs might make a difference if you are drag racing but these little cars are not meant for that.
165/65r14 tire probably weighs about 12-14 pounds
175/55r15 (also factory size tire on some trim levels) probably weighs about 15-17 pounds
185/65r14 tire would be around 17-19 pounds.
Tires alone wouldn't be 10-20 pounds extra weight. Rims, however, could be quite different.
Lots of members are using 165-185 wide tires without issue.
