I have 22" brabus Mono IV, and had 20" orig merc before, I would say it's an increase of at least 10%, and performance went down as well.

By moderate driving an increase in consumption og 10%, by very fast highway driving an increaser of about 15-20% and loss of performance, above 120mph, the car i noticeably slower.
The 22"s are also very heavy
