in my experience with a cuore, two identical cars one with stock tires one with 20 mm over wide, the later one reduced economy, acceleration and top speed... while no significant increase in grip or braking... this is for smaller cars, while in corolla gli, i went 40 mm over size, the affect was the same as above but not that serious... so i will recommend you 165....
