Question mpg calculation w/ ProComp 33x12.5.17

I put the ProComp AT 33x12.5x17 on my 17" stock rims. How does this effect the odometer, and how should I now calculate my estimated mpg's?

I also have the ProComp 17s on my supercrew. Took a few speed readings with my GPS going 70 MPH and the speedo was right on. The tires are not really much taller than the stocks so I don't think it makes much difference. GPS didn't think so anyway.
Just my opinion.

You use the size like stock 17's (rims) have 31.7" tall tires and ur new ones are 32.7" tall so 31.7/32.7 * XXMPH = XXMPH
