I'm looking to select some tires from Tirerack today.
These are to go on a sedan that is used for both highway and around town driving.

On 4" wheels, I'd like to err on the size being larger rather than smaller diameter for better mileage.
It's running a B20 with J type OD.

From the archives mostly people seem to like 185 65R 15 (on a wagon with 4.5" wheels), but they are said to be a bit smaller diameter than stock 165 15.

Will these be too wide for the 4" wheels?

It had been recommended that I get 185 70R15,(Kumho Powerstar 758, but not available) but the only tire I'm finding in that size is a $200 Pirelli.

Anybody have experience with with a Kumho Solus TA11? $57.25/ea
