Question wheels and mpg

pardon the newbish nature of the question.

how will tire and wheel size affect mpg? i.e. larger rims v. smaller rims, fat tires v. low-profile tires

and how drastically will lowering a car affect mpg?

im looking to pick up a yaris soon (my '94 camry finally died ) and would like to strike some balance between the car's natural fuel efficiency and absolute rolling teardrop sexiness when it's on a nice set of wheels.
