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

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

Laying out is not happening with inner fenders. Here is a Sub on 20s. Me 245/45/18 and 295/45/18
See pictures threads!

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

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.
