Default Tires and wheels

Hi, I'm looking to get new tires and rims for my 08 CHB, I currently have 20in rims on it, ( thats how it was when I bought it) and I'm only getting 28mpg on average tanks. When I go long distance say 200 miles, I get about 32-34mpg. The only thing I can think of for the poor milage is the tires and wheels. Curretly the 20in have a 245/35r20. They are about 10" wide, and I think stock are 6.5". Going back to stock from a dealer is quite expensive. I found a set of rims, tires and TPMS for about 1400 shipped to my house. I'm just not sure what to look for in the rims. I've selected the Michelin Energy saver A/S tires 215/60r16 which I think is stock size for the camry. What is the weight of stock rims for the Camry. I see there is wheel weight, offset. What all should I look for? Here is a link of the wheels Im intersted in.

These ones weight 18.6 lbs

These are 16.3lbs

I selected these because they are close to what I have now, but not as many spokes and like the way these ones look.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

can't say anything about the rims, but the tire size you listed is the default stock size, also the michelin energy saver a/s tires are the kind i will be getting for my TCH soon. Seems like a great tire.

I bought MB Mesh X wheels from Discount Tire to use in the summer months on my TCH and put my Michelin tires on them. I put General Altimax Arctic tires on the stock alloy rims for winter use. The General tires have been fantastic. I will be replacing the stock Michelin tires this summer as they have 60,000 miles plus on them now. I am considering Yokohama Avid Envigor V rated tires to replace the Michelins. The Yoko's are rated very well on Tire Rack.

Stock tire size on the TCH was 215/60R16. I stayed with stock sizes with all my tires and wheels.

Do a search for the wheel weight on the forum, I believe there was an old post somewhere that has the wheel weight in it. Hope you find the info you need.

The michelin energy saver a/s tires is a good choice. I have had mine for for about 10,000 miles and really like them. I could see some improvement in gas mileage.
