Default 285/50 with 2/4 drop on stock 20" wheels?

I'm planning on installing some 20" Yukon LTZ wheels on my '01 2WD Silverado and plan on doing a 2/4 drop in the very near future. After hours of searching it seems like 275/45 (29.74" tall) is the goto tire size for these wheels and drop, but they look too small IMO. I like the look of 285/50 (31.22" tall) better. Lots of people are running these on a 2/4 drop, but I haven't seen a single one with stock wheels. Obviously backspacing is everything when it comes to rubbing. When it comes to rubbing, is the width or height the main culprit? Would a 295/45 (30.45" tall) work?

So, anyone have 285/50R20 with 2/4 drop on stock 20" wheels? Is so, please post some pics, thanks!

mine has 275/45/20's alternative IMO is 295/40/20 a 285/50 would rub lock to lock on the front of my truck your results may vary

On an RCSB the 275/45's look okay. On an ECSB I think the tires need to be a little beefier to look right.
