If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Real world answer: My gas mileage dropped. A lot.
My daily commute was getting me as much as 34MPG on the stock fuel-fighter tires.
I haven't seen over 29MPG on my normal daily commute since I put these on.

Re: Wheels/Upgrades

One of the disadvantages of going with a larger rim is most tires in those sizes are not low resistant, they are more performance oriented. So like ezone said, lower gas mileage.
