Ride Height vs Wheel Diameter

Guys, I need a little help here. Initially, I was going to go with a 22x12 rear wheel. Now, I'm leaning more toward a 20x12 or maybe 20x12.5. I don't really care about laying frame, but won't my truck to sit fairly low when it is aired out while parked. Now, I know it is possibly to do that with 22's. But, the most important reason being I am leaning towards the 20's are I want it to sit low and have a good, mean stance while at ride height and driving. It would have to sit higher with the 22's while driving as opposed to the 20's, right? What do y'all think? Am I correct in my analogy? Don't know if many have read and been following my build thread, but I will have Porterbuilts C4 front and C4 rear Dropmembers. With that being said, I want a little bit more performance out of the truck with the Corvette stuff and IRS suspension. Another reason to go with the 20's probably instead of the taller 22's.
