I get slight rubbing when I've got the wheel turned 100% either direction. I rarely have to make such tight turns, and when I do, it's at such a slow speed, that it doesn't bother me enough to correct it.

One thing I've noticed since changing wheels/tires has been about a 2mpg drop in fuel economy. I'm not sure if this is due to the new wheels/tires, the frequent sub freezing temps lately, or maybe the winter blend of gas. But where I was averaging between 16.5 and 17.5 back in November, I'm now seeing 14.5 - 15.5.

Also, I pulled the running boards off and really like the end result. Thanks for the recommendation! I'll post a pic or two as soon as I can..

I updated the pics on page 1 of this thread. I removed the running boards.

To see the before and after pics (w and w/o boards) you can check out the album:

They look very good on your silver truck, really fill those wheel wells nicely!

look at this thread

You may want to consider the tape delete. It's a matter of taste but for lighter colored trucks it may improve the look.

This one shows how to do it
