It is not bad enough to keep me from driving it, but it is annoying. Really it is just sharp turning. I think it will be fine once they roll the fenders a little more. I know that it is a lot of tire with that lift, but all in all, I am happy with the way it turned out. If I had went with a 8" rim, or maybe a little more backspacing it would have been fine, but I like the tire and wheel combo enough to make it work. I know "redrock" is running the same wheel as me with a 6" superlift and 36" tires and his rubs too, so going to a six wouldn't have solved anything.

) 17, 15 mixed city and highway. Hopefully with the new tranny(picking it up tomorrow
) I'll gain a little.

Cowboy, is this for the truck in your sig? When I had my '02 I was getting a steady 18mpg hand calculated with 35's. That was with a 4.5" lift, 3.55 gears, auto. and only an Edge EZ.

37s with NO lift like XLR8R!
16.5 over the first 7000 miles of the truck with 90% highway (15% of that towing) and 10% city. I can get close to 20 with low winds, and a steady 70MPH on the cruise, but normally I am at 75 @ 2000 RPMs.
I used the SMARTY to calibrate the speedo.

Average 15mpg with 50/50 City/Highway. I was getting a solid 1mpg better before the "Devil Fuel" 
I have gotten as high as 18mpg all highway, and I have gotten as low as 10mpg while towing my 7,000lb trailer.
