Tire Size, general opinions welcome.

What I am about to say most likely goes against every aspect of buying new tires for an ecomodder but im 18 years old and my car came with a set of 17" rims in the trunk, so theyre going on it. The tires on my cavalier are 195/65-15 (stock) but theyre dry rotting. So im putting the 17x8 wheels on with 225/45-17 tires. What I am hoping for are opinions on how much this will effect my mileage. There is a chance I will go with LRR tires. Will that possibly make up for the new tire size?

Thanks in adavance.
