If you are concerned about performance get a nice set of 17's. Bigger rim is more weight and more rotational mass for your motor to have to fight

Those kinda look like the Callaway silverado wheels, i haven't seen them before look nice but yes they'll hurt u in performance but i would try some 275/45/20 tires and change the gears also, what engine and gears do u have?

That tire size is way to tall for a 4/6 drop 285/50/20 is larger dia then the stock 275 55 20 that IMO fills the wheel well nicely, you would want a 40 series tire for sure. I would still buy them if you like the wheel, split them apart, prob need to install tpms anyways and sell the tires for $400-500 it's a popular size for stock height and even small leveled lifts. My .02 cents
