Default Lets see some lowered trucks on 28" Dr's

I am wanting to put some M&H 325 45 17's on my truck. It has a 5/7 drop I am just wondering if the 28" tall tire is gonna look too small.

i think a 28" slick will look just right. what size tire do you run on the street? it cant be much more than a 28 or 29" tire with a 5/7 drop
