I hate to sound rude, but nearly all your answers are found in the forum through search.


To give you my .02...
This will depend on many factors: Driving style, elevation, PSI, 2/4 DR, sh!tty gas or high grade, and other things.

But if you are upgrading from stock, expect a decrease in gas mileage.

I have 37's, 5.13's, 4dr, speed limit driver, 4500-5000 elevation, 30-31 PSI, 91-95 high grade, and I get 18.

Some people I know who run 37's run 5:13's and say they should have gone with 5:38's. But they don't do much highway. If it's daily then 5:13's are good
