When I changed my original summer tires + rims for winter tires + rims (16" OZ F1 rims + 205/60 Nokian R winter tires) I noticed that I now got around 8l/100km when I used to get around 9l/100km before. OEM rims are super heavy, it seems changing rims & tires has a huge impact on consumption!

Its probably because your winter tires are rotating faster causing your odometer to show a higher mileage. I would reduce your odometer reading by about 4% and redo your calculations.

Actually they're almost the exact same size, there's just a 0.3% difference. (0.2" difference in circumference)
