Well finally my new wheels and tires showed up.

No problems with rubbing. Only had to trim a very small piece from the front wheel well mouldings.

update
Ok I have posted A picture of the piece of moulding that I had to trim in my gallery.
As far as fuel economy I don't really know. I never really kept track to start but I am sure it will go down a little around town. But my freeway economy will pick up a little. The tires are a litlle load and yes you can here them inside the cab. But they are a Mud terrain so I expected a little noise. Also Yes the truck rides a little harder now you can deffinatly feel more of the small imperfections in the road that the old setup would soak up. But then again its a truck if I wanted a cadillac I would have bought and Escalade. Overall even after loosing some of my ride quality and noise barrier I love this setup. As far as the same tires mounted on a 17x10 rim. I don't know if they will rub or not. But anytime you go with a wider rim you are comeing closer to the chance of rubbing. All I know is the 17x8 are a safe bet.
