Here is how they fit. Factory 2010 Silverado wheels with Goodyear DuraTrac 275/70/18 tires.
Nothing hits, though I may trim the front valance to be safe.
I don't think I could have gone any bigger without trouble.

I tried finding a post before I bought these, so I thought I'd let you all know how they fit..

These tires lifted the truck 2" compared to 265/65/18's on the same wheels. Measured from the ground to the center of the rear wheel well. (39")

Looks good. I may go with a similar set up when my tires wear out (still a while from that happening) cause I have the same rims you got (and I love 'em)

How much did these tires affect your mpgs and driving? Does it do fine between 3rd and 4th gear or does it change a lot?

My mpg has been fine so far. I should get roughly 13 stock where I live but I get 11-12 with my exhaust. You will notice a difference when you accelerate at first, buts that's all it is, just a slight difference. No strain on the motor. You may lose a couple mpg but the pay off is completely worth it. You may not even notice it. Trust me mines the same way haha
