A little but not much
That tire is just a bit bigger than stock
I think you will be okay for the most part
Slightly less acceleration when you romp it due to the gear ratio difference with the bigger tires
Not enough to worry about as far as wear on the transmission

You are only changing the width over the stock tire size. The transmission should be fine as the increased weight of the tires and rims isn't much different than carrying a heavier load.The wheel bearings would get stressed a little more but should be fine.
