You also have to consider the trade off of increased ride height and how it will negatively affect aerodynamics. Of course I am speaking of extremely tall tires with a substantial ride height increase. Extreme (ie: "let's get the most ginormous wheels that fit") changes may not net any increase in FE. However, being creative with lowering springs and bashing out wheel wells are potentially beneficial here.
