it will change you mph a little, i run 17's in the front and 18's in the back and saw no drop in mpg from the stock 16's

not if you dont change your overall diameter, you can get a lower profile tire to compensate for the bigger wheel. I have 18's and my overall diameter is the same as when I had 16's. the only thing that might affect mpg/mph is the weight of the wheel maybe.
