The real concern is in the small stuff. bushings and brakes.
But with the majority of your driving being highway you probably don't need to worry
the tires weight about 3.5 lbs more and the 15 rims about 4lbs.
So you at 7lb x 4 = 28lb of moving extra weight.
the old set up was about 125lb moving and the new is around 148lbs.

I am aware of the added unsprung weight and the increased inertia to get things rolling.
There was a very detailed thread on Toyota Nation regarding the effect of larger diameter tires/heavy wheel-tires.
What a day, drove down to NYC, worked from 11:30 to 8:30 and drove back home to Maine. The summer repaving has started and there is road work all over the place. Lots of traffic jams. Took 5 hrs to get down and 5 hrs to get back.
Scangauge says 35.9 MPG. Will fill up tomorrow as
today my new Full Moon Racing Hupcaps came from Hupcap King!
