Default Looking to put new wheels on. QUESTIONS

hey all, I have been thinking real hard and narrowed down my wheel choices to two rims. I want a really aggressive stance on my truck. I really like the KMC Slides or the GMC Ck156 Replicas in black. I was looking for either 22's or 24's, but im worried about rubbing issues. whats the nicest rim/tire size I should do to not have any rubbing? also, would 24's look too big or would they be a nice size? `2009 Silverado 1500

24's would be too big and heavy, even though 22's are going to be really heavy too. Talking like 85-100lbs per wheel right there.

Is the truck lowered at all??

285/45/22 is the stock size tire for trucks that came with 22's. Right quality will also go down because of the rim size and very short sidewalls.
