As long as you keep the overall diameter within specs you should be fine. WHenever you go up in size of a wheel say from 14 to 15 you go down in aspect sidewall height of the tire.

So 185/65x14" would be a 195/55x15", 16s would be 205/45x16"

You will get worse mpg if you go to a heavier rim, but the GSR and Si rims are lighter than I think than the steel wheels like 14s.
