Filled up yesterday morning and put a little over 200 miles since then and reading 17.4 mpg. This is mixed driving and a little idling with the AC on, not bad for a heavy 4x4 Screw. Maybe the engine likes the 100 degree heat down here!

i guess you cant always have the best of both worlds. I was getting use to 20-21 with the OEM tires but they do nothing for appearance. Def dont regret getting the new wheels.

any plans for wheels for you?

I still have a set of wheels in my garage from my '04 that maybe would fit but I think I'll stick with the stocker's. I plan on getting it leveled next day I get off of work.

I have to say those stock wheels aren't bad looking. when i get some extra money, i.ll prob do the level to. Im just concerned i will lose more MPGs with.

will the 305/50/20 terra grapps fit on a 2010 fx2 without rubbing at stock suspension. gonna run the oem 20s. if not gonna run the 305/55/20s with a 2.5" up front, but would rather not lift it if i can fit the 305/50 stock.
