Question Bead lock style wheels with lower profrile street tire on lowered trucks?

This is just a thought i had. There are some pretty neat looking and funtional sized 16x8 and 16x10s beadlock style wheels with the bolt patterns for our trucks. Now my truck has a 3/4 drop right now with 20s. I just want more of an agressive looking wheel that i can run slicks on the rear. Being out wheel selection is so limited i was wondering if anyone has seen this done this or would see an issue with going about this? I think it would actually look pretty sick if they dont rub the feders im sure they will stick out a little bit.

Something along the lines of this. I would be different and i acutually think it would be badass looking.

Summit racing wheels Series 174, is what the first wheel is.
I wonder what any of these wheels look like with like a 45/295/16 nitto street radial.

the first and second should look great. The third is more of an offroad design.

All these wheels are socalled off road wheels. Im thinking about breaking the chain and rolling something new, with a bolt pattern the works, sticking out type wheel and tire or not. I think it will look bad *** and function very well.
PS
Havent picked a wheel yet.

I think the first two, with directional rubber on a lowered truck would give it a race/nascar look. Go for it.

You can get wheels similar to the cragars made to any offset. Possibly even in 17 inch. Now it would be a real bead lock which should technically should not be run on the street.

Merry christmas

Thanks everyone, im not super high performance im under 600 hp so a fake bead lock wheel isnt really my worry.

Well, i guess i will have to jump into this one on my own.
Do you guys think i should run 16x10s all around or a 16x8 up front?
What lower profile performance tire should i run so i dont rub with my 3/4 on my 2000 rcsb rig?
