Don't have 17's, but this is 245/45 on 18's. Frame is about an inch off the ground.

Re: 17's or 20's....

Guess I should've said stock inner fenders too lol... 18's aren't out just thinking of cheaper tire options..

Re: 17's or 20's....

My truck doesn't lay frame. Stock front suspension with 1.5" dropped control arm pockets. Just like the sub. Mine sits about 4-5" higher than the gray truck

Re: 17's or 20's....

I would rather run with 17's and a little more tire then 20's with rubber bands. Both sizes keeping the same overall tire height.
