Default 20s with a 2/4

I'm looking into getting 20s and I'm curious as to what size tire to get. Right now I have 275/60/R17 with a 2/4 drop and they fill out the fender wells nicely and I love the way it looks. However, I'm concerned about getting 20s and having the same look. If there is one thing I hate its 20s with 6 inches of open fender on a lowered truck. I'm wondering what size tire I should go with to try and get the same look that I have now. Here is a picture of the way it looks now if it helps.
Oh and don't pay too much attention to the truck. Its not finished

275/45/20 seems to be what a lot of people run for that drop. That is what i went with. Should fill the fender nicely.

yep 275/45/20's will work great. I ran 275/45/20's in the front and 285/50/20's in the back with zero problems.

You MAYBE could get away with 285/50/20's, but you'll need perfect backspacing(around 6" on an 8.5" rim)

I run 285/50/20 with no rubbing issues at all. They fill the gap pretty good!

Truck looks good right now, it's gonna look even better with the plans you have for it...I think it would look good with some 285/50's if they'll fit

285/50 would look pretty good and fill the fenderwells nicely. A 265/50 would be a little smaller and still look good as well. I have 285/50's on my truck now and just feel that they've slowed me down too much.
