I got an 02 Tahoe and I want to put rims and tires on it, but I'm looking for somewhat of a specific look.

The rims I want are the American Racing Dagger (all silver). Now here's where I need your help. I don't know if I should get 20s or 22s?

As for tires, I don't want low profile tires or aggressive off road tires.

What I want is to fill the wheel well with the rim/tire set. I hate having the big gap over the tire in the well, if that makes sense.

The closest tire I've found by looking through the web is the Nitto Terra tire, but again not sure about the size. Should I go with a 285/55/20 or something a little samller with a 22" Rim. I'm sure there are other tires out there but I can't seem to find what I want. I've looked through web images with no luck.

BTW, My truck is mainly a street truck with the occasional dirt road.

Thanks

If you hate the gap between tire and fender, install a drop as well. 3/5 would close up the gap really well, that's what I'm about to use on my Yukon XL. I don't see the point in spending close to the same amount for less drop.
Use discount tire's (or any other) tire calculator so you can get a size that is close to the factory 265/75/16. If you drop or not, you might want to make sure your offset is around the +25mm to +35mm range depending on rim width so the wheels sit under the fenders to avoid the rock chips all down the side of the truck.
