Non lowered RT and 255/45/20's ?

Anyone think this might look funny? I have no intention of lowering my RT, but want to run 20's. I've got a line of Toyo Proxes S/T 255/45s, but have recently become concerned that profile might look a bit strange on a non lowered Magnum. Should I switch that up to 255/55s? Any ESP/speedo concerns at at that diameter?

PS: What about 45s in the front, and 55s in the back? Man I need a hobby

I'm even running 245/40/20's on front, and 275/50/20's on the back. It's not lowered either, and I think it looks alright.

Click on the links in my signature if you wanna look.

Dupie, Black, cluv... all very sweet. hemi I look forward to seeing yours! And scar... I was wondering what the 300 folks thought about the look on their cars. Thanks for the insight.

After your guys comments and pictures, I think I've got nothing to worry about. Out of curiosity, what offset are your respective rims? I'm going to run 20mm and I think that will push them out just enough to fill the gap up, and make it look like it was by design.

Hey T Mag...How do you like the NT 420S? I'm leaning toward those when my wheels come in.
