On the 757-300 the tail hits at a little over 8 degrees. However the v speeds are pushed up considerably to account for this, so in reality you have plenty of clearance.

Actually makes for a nicer flying aircraft I think, seems more stable on the approach and the longer body seems to flex more in turbulence giving a smoother ride.
