tire size increase

Hi,

I have a 300D and would liek to know if anyone has done a tire width increase in their car. To go from 195 70R14 to 205 65R14 causes an overall tire diameter difference of about .3 inch calculated using the following equation: (2*(195*.7)+14) all units converted correctly for both. Will I see any appreciable handling/traction differences in increasing the witdth, and perhaps more importantly, will I see any appreciable fuel economy drops? Thanks

JMH
