Big Wheels and a Tool Box?

I really like my tool box on my truck and keep a lot of odds and ends in there that would be just be piled up in the back seat of my supercrew if I didn't have it. Plus the chrome offsets all the black on my truck. I'm looking to replace my stock 17" wheels but I don't want the whole off road/ mud bogging look though. I'm looking to upgrde to anywhere from a 20-24" wheel but at the same time I don't want it to look as you guys would say "ghetto". Anybody have any recommendations or have any pictures of a good mix of a truck that has a slight street look to it but is still a truck? Is there such a thing? I primarily drive on highways and don't do any off roading except for putting it in 4WD to get out of my driveway during snowstorms. I don't want to lower it and I have 2.5" A.S. leveling kit that I haven't installed yet. Thats about the extent I would like to go as far as modifications if possible. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd suggest selling the AS leveling kit and install a set of drop shackles to level the truck. I'd then go with a 305/45-22 tire. This is essentially a 33x12.50-22 tire and will fill in the wheelwells nicely (I have this size on my Expy). As for the toolbox, I'd get one of the ones that sit down in the bed, that way it doesn't clash with the "street truck" look and you still have storage.

I run a construction materials company and load my truck with tons of stuff in the bed. This is the combination I am running right now till I can sell them and get the 24's.... It's a good blend of street and work....

Nope they are 20's they are 20x9 MotoMetal 952's with Pirelli Scorpion 275/55/20 tires (stock FX2). They have a 12mm offset, which kinda kicks them out of the body slightly.
