    There's no reason that gas mileage should change based on wheel diameter. Mine didn't when I put 22's on.

    i put TIS 07's on my R/T, and i lost about 2 mpg in the city and 1 in the highway.
    its not the fact that your wheel is .0003 inches off from stock, its the fact that 22'S WAY A ****ING TON!!!!!! My TIS's on Pirelli 265/35/22's weighed in almost 50% heavier than a stock 18.

    xactly - if the overall height is the same - nothing changes. You might have a few more lbs, but I can't see that even making a difference.
